Murray 1948 2 Myotis velifer May 28 El Carrizalito, 1400 ft., 5 mi N San Diego, Baja Calif. Caught 1 with a net over a concrete tank full of water. The tank is one of two, 10 feet across and about 1 foot above the ground. The bats come in numbers over it at dusk and for a while after dark. (see journal) May 31 Santa Anita, 250 ft., (Cape District), Baja Calif. Found a clump hanging in the corner of an empty room in a closed up building. Apparently they also extended back into a crack there. Did not keep any In the evening shot 1 flying by the dense palms and mangoz and a ditch with a little water. June 16 mi N San José del Cabo, 250 ft., Baja Calif. Shot 1 at dusk by camp on a sandy flat. There is a small hill nearby with many large granite outcroppings and a ditch with water. June 4 Same location Went up the hillside where Dr. Benson had seen bats enter a crack early this morning. Found a large rounded granite exfoliation outcropping with an exfoliating piece which left a crack of about 3/4" in it were about 10 bats, several of which we caught and found to be velifer. One was Tadarida temorosa and 2 others may have been Tadarida mexicana (see journal)
