Mormoops megalophylla
May 4 Mulegé, (¼ mi S), 400± ft., Baja Calif.
Looked into a cave up on the hillside.
This had a small mouth but a chamber which
broadened out into about 50×30 feet and then
narrowed to a very small hole in the
rear. There was a deep powdery layer of
dust and guano. Dr. Benson went into the
rear chamber and chased out a number
of bats, of which I caught 2 Mormoops. There
were also many Macrotus californicus and
a few Leptonycteris.
