Webster's 1828 Dictionary

VAMPIRE

n. 1. In mythology, an imaginary demon, which was fabled to suck the blood of persons during the night.
2. In zoology, a species of large bat, the Vespertilio vampyrus of Linne, called also the ternate bat. It inhabits Guinea, Madagascar, the East India Isles, New Holland and New Caledonia. These animals fly in flocks, darkening the air by their numbers. It is said that this bat will insinuate his tongue into the vein of an animal imperceptibly, and suck his blood while asleep. This name is also given by Buffon to a species of large bat in South America, the V. spectrum of Linne.

VAMPIRE

Vam "pire, n. Etym: [F. vampire (cf. It. vampiro, G. & D. vampir ), fr. Servian vampir. ] [Written also vampyre.]

This superstition is now prevalent in parts of Eastern Europe, and was especially current in Hungary about the year 173 .

They have a cæcal appendage to the stomach, in which the blood with which they gorge themselves is stored.

 

4. (Zoöl.)

 

Defn: Any one of several species of harmless tropical American bats of the genus Vampyrus, especially V. spectrum. These bats feed upon insects and fruit, but were formerly erroneously supposed to suck the blood of man and animals. Called also false vampire. Vampire bat (Zoöl.), a vampire, 3.
