Longhurst 1939 Myotis sp. Aug. 12 Baker Cr., 8000 ft. White Pando, Nevada Only 1 or bat of this kind was shot here, but several others were seen flying. Two others were hit but they dropped in thick brush and could not be found. They were first seen flying fairly early in the evening among the aspen trees bordering the Cr. A little later some were noted circling out over the sagebrush and junipers. A few larger bats were also seen flying with them. In flight they are not exceptionally rapid, but they did considerable darting among the trees after insects, always staying 10-30 ft. above the ground.
