Murray 1948 77 Journal May 22 Buena Vista, 25° N, 23°38'N, 109°41'W, Baja Calif. skulls only, cataloged by Lewis and myself. We saw several other caves, one a little shallower and higher had several Macrotus, but the others did not amount to much. There was some Bassaniscus dropping in several places. Much of the higher overhanging rock had a strange honeycombed appearance, apparently from water dripping through. The hill slopes were covered with dry palo verde, mesquite, frutilla, lumbro and the other brush found down here. I identified Palo brasil as another brush here. There are 3 species of Elaphrium or copal which have been prevalent since La Paz. The road to the hill passes through much very dense growth of mesquite and palo verde. In the washes are yerba de lapasma, which was also very common where I trapped at Trinfio. I was not able to shoot any bats tonight. Several appeared rather late and flew rapidly straight down the road. These were not feeding - several dove at me as they went by. Guest netted 2 Myotis californicus in the house.
