June 23 Santa Rosalillito, 75°H, SE and Bahia Concepcion
Caught absolutely nothing in my traps.
We got an early start and drove to Mulege where we set up camp on the south edge of town, next to a palm grove.
In the evening bats flew in great abundance and the others shot Eptesicus, Pipistrellus and Dasypterus. I was a little sick and did not shoot.
June 24 Mulege to Santa Rosalia
In the morning the others went to the large bat cave we had visited previously.
Found Macrotes and just one each of Mormoops and Leptonycteris
Spent a warm, humid night last night with the minimum 69. There are mosquitos here now, but whether they bore malaria we will learn by the results.
Moved on again, driving to Santa Rosalia. We were delayed, however, by a break in the oil filter line of the Dodge which still is not repaired. We were also stopped at the edge of town to be examined for diphtheria, for there has been an epidemic in Sa Paz.
All along Concepcion Bay and the Gulf here, there have been numerous brown pelicans, either fishing or in the water.
