The web is really hundreds of individual webs spun between shared guy line (from tree to tree, tree to ground, etc). i.e., [illegible] each weblet ~ 3-4" in diameter. each individual web is tended by one spider. This system results in a remarkably even spacing of the adults in the web.

The traps were every night but June 6 between June 1 & June 7 (inclusive). The # of effective traps varied, but I estimate a total # of 50 trap nights. Peanut butter, ripe bananas, carrots & lettuce were used as bait. On the 2nd night I captured 1 Didelphis & one Rattus. On the 3rd night, 3 Didelphys (one released about 5 miles away). On 2 June 5 I captured & released a Didelphy (also mi away), & traps set on June 7 caught a Didelphi whose skull I kept. All but 2 of the Didelphys were young - I estimate 3/4 size (from what Gonzales says.) All animals were very fat. Almost every night over half the traps were spring & often moved. Dogs & opossums probably responsible. Didelphis was captured in all of the habitats sampled.

June 10-17 traps were set wherever -to fence & the road- presumably since fences are usually at least 20-50 feet back. We tried to prevent the frequent users of the road from seeing what we were doing to prevent trap loss but this resulted in the traps being hurriedly placed or not put out at all. On rainy days the road is closed. During the trapping period there were 2 consecutive days (June 12-13) of rain when we were unable to check traps. First night - 8 snap traps set near cut-over road going to Nueva Colombia in low woody & scrubby brush. Second night - these were reset & 20 more set at bridge 13.1 km E of Jaque, along roadside & in grasses & floating vegetation in water 6" deep. Third - sixth nights 10 more added, 14.6 km E of Jaque (swampy edge, solid ground).

The road is a good clay road, with no rocks, but compared to a dry which dries to a remarkably fine dust. In low places, where the road dries more slow, there were deep ruts, but generally the road was very fine. Little traffic, mostly large cattle trucks. Surrounding lands are wet, & dead flat. Acre & acre of palm swamp broken by laf forest (max alt of tree = 50'). The vegetation of the forest is thick & generally scrubby, with diversity low compared to rain forest. Lots of vines but few other epiphytes. Generally, The place is reminiscent of Middle Florida. We drove until 19 PM. Saw 2 foxes by the road, but were surprised that there was nothing else (dangerous) at km 100. Heard an owl that sounded like a great horned owl. (For this, will see list on June 26). 28 June Land gradually (very gradually) rises as you move inland. % of land under water (palm swamp) goes from above 50% to below 20%

Many road killed foxes - we saw at least 4 or 5, which seems like many considering that the nature of the road keeps auto speed down & that the road has been closed for several days. Also saw a crested caracara flying over palm swamp w. a mouse in its beak. Arrived at station 4:30 PM. Ing. Marchi is in charge w. Ing. Samudio of the Ministerio de agricultura & ganaderia up para visit. The station has 3000ha, of which 600ha have been cleared & are lightly grazed. Their main project now is to experiment a grasses, attempt to find one which suit the chaco peculiar soil, that can withstand grazing, & which provides adequate food year-round. The soil is an impermeable clay to a depth of 60cm, which is underlain by more permeable but very salty material. Not suitable for farming unless drastic treatment. The weather is hot & wet during the summer, & cool-cold (occasional frost) & drier during the winter. There is ~900mm rain. Due to the impermeability of the soil this stays

5km E of Encarnación, Paraguay 16 Aug stew & I was sleeping among leaves in the attic of the quinta we found abundant bat droppings & 2 mummified glass-winged bats (#318 & #319). We smelled, heard & glimpsed a few molossids, but they scuttled into a crack where we could not reach them. I only put up two nets but almost immediately we caught 2 Mystis (#320-321). Then one of the cats (there are several) carried a molossid (#323) & we carried 4 Artibeus in the net (#324 & #325, & 2 released). A busy night - & promising. Also saw 1 Redephtis. It was in the hollow in closest a broken branch, perhaps 1 ft in dia & 2' (at far as we could see) deep. Perhaps 10' of the ground. Dair up the trunk was a very clear worn area so the possum appears to apparently uses the hollow branch as a regular den. Weather is still warm but grows cooler & is cloudy. Survives, looks bad.

Flown out with Eaton, Pete Berrie & a pilot to look at Berrie's proposed study area on by the R. Verde, n Eaton's ranch. Weather was warm but mostly cloudy with occasional thunder showers. We flew back before flying was bumpy. 1 hr 50 minutes to get there, 1 hr 10 min to return. For the first 15 mins on the W of the R. Paraguay the river are all in channel. The veg is mostly palm, but small W. changes of forest & gallery forest along the river. For the next ½-¾ hour the river disappears & we flew over flooded field palms less forest. Luckier, place here & during first 15 mins we flew over what I first thought were bowl- water - circular bare areas w. a diameter somewhat greater than that of the palms, (10 ± ft?). "Termite nest" according to Eaton. or, could it be other gut, such as those we saw building nests of similar size at the Chaco Experimental Station?

Wyer Phil 1972 Journal 36 320km NW Villa Hayes by rd. Sept. Boquerón, Paraguay Kilometers before Ecatari ranch, the forest is almost continuous when it is undisturbed. The rivers move back into well-defined channels then gradually dry up. The Rio Verde at its S edge of Ecatari Ranch, is at this time of year broken into isolated ponds (crammed with fish concentrated by the drying). Most, but not all, rivers & ponds are salty. We spent 2 hours on Ecatari ranch making a quick trip to [illegible] Berrie's proposed site on the R Verde. Mostly brush lower than the forest nearby. Very dense, fairly diverse. I checked a few palm-thatch houses for bats. Found some large droppings, some of which seemed to be composed of insect fragments. But no bats. Then the weather closed in & we left hurriedly. Berrie seemed to favorably impressed. Thought the R Verde area looked good for arboret, & that the large # of raptors model well for cats -- as an indicator of adequate prey. [illegible] Birds - Saw one large hawk, & crumenator, perhaps a savanna hawk carrying a 3 foot snake. Saw several things we did not see at the Chaco experiment.

They were bolted in tight clusters individually spaced. Some were at the ceiling, some on the floor. They seemed prefer running as much as flying in avoiding us. They flew in front of us around us, but did not leave the cave as we expected. I saw a number smaller bats near the entrance but they would not allow me to approach. The large chiropters were unspeciably clear. I kept 5 vampires. We returned in the evening to put net in front of two of the three exits. The first bat calls were small glossophagine, around 7:30. A few vampire starter cance out started around 7:45 (after it became quite dark) as to # of glossophagine dropped off, the # of vampires rose. I collected no vampires.

Several of the vampires, most of the glossophagines & the, included in the 3'd op- a Carollia, all hit the net going into the cave rather than calm sect. It is possible that they had left around the corners of the set & wheeled around. We quit netting around 8:15 PM - no point in catching more vampires. Set about 25 snaptraps & 2 steel traps over the hill & in the brush at the base of the cliff. oak for bait. Night was warm & windy. 3:00 Day dawned clear, warmed up into 90's; left midday, still windy. Nothing in trap but the folded deep net (closed but still suspended between poles) contained 4 more o' vampires, for a total of 150 & no 4. I guess we caught around 20 vampires in all.

I suspect that the Meadows are frequentlly burned to encourage the growth of a grass which we see being harvested, the don't know why. There were burned sticks to attest to some burning but most of the fields were covered with new growth & of this grass it would not show obvious sign of burning. If it is the case that they are burned, then it there is an a possible reason why rodent denit is so low. Generally the birds are dull. Lots of turdules & sparrows.

Most of the care trees are quebracho & sarmiento (with a spiny thorn). When they clear there leave only the quebracho - whether for its valuable wood or simply because of the difficulty in cutting it I don't know. As a consequence of leaving many large fires this tendency for 2nd growth to be dense stand of thorny Prosopis one tend to think that the climax vegetation here (if there is such a thing) is the thick thorn much overlain with quebracho. Most of it would probably eventually return to the more diverse vartal however, climatic permitting. At least one can easily make out a successional sequence with this steps: grass grass & palms, Prosopis thicket etc. to bromeliads & some other brush, built of organic matter in so said gradual addition of other species. The first stage goes quickly - to Prosopis in 2-3 years. Forest - quier's sale? It would be interest.

After tying strings around my shirt sleeve & pants legs to keep the bees out & donning a mosquito head net (for mosquitoes), I attacked the nest with a machete.

The yarn were in comb-like boxes, bee like, but more papery & smaller. The honey was in cells throughout the nest, apparently built of mud & excreta. Some cells contained glob of yellow pollen also I removed several gallons of a nest piece, which we crumbled & put over screen wire.

They seem remarkably sensitive to our presence. We told we could catch 32 bats. I kept 15, & marked the others. Among these there were 4 recaptures, no more. 9:00 air temp 23° C, slight NW breeze from south, fluffy clouds, beautiful night. 14 Dec. Of 229 bats, 8 only are mature, & 50/1 trees I released. Not good. The young are full-sized but reproductive immatures. Most have adult pelage tho a few were grayer & more silver (which I believe to be immature color). Pelvises in general are slightly notched, which represents a multiparous condition in this lot (according to nipple size & detrus size). No fat in any of the bats. 1 F gave birth in the bag. The young was clinging to the F, so I released them together. The young were also distinctive due to very rubbly hairs. They were very vulnerable skin breaks when I skinned the bat. Sky warm clear & humid. Decided to scent the pack rather than catch Noctilio same nets as before. Very few

Collected 19, & there were probably 3x that many. Due to oil pressure problems we needed to drive slowly, & since we had live animals we decided to return at night. Mod est trip to Villa Hayes at 30 km/hr, w. several stops. Saw 7 fox, 1 large (30") Boxyg, saw WTs released a Tatú Bolita. This trip was notable for the large #s of mosquitoes especially in the zone where it had rained heavily a week earlier (around km 200). Temp way high - max around 40-41, min in mid 30's. Partly cloudy - clear. Slight breeze from N. None of the no-see-ums that had bothered us at the beginning of the month. I am impressed by the erratic nature of insect abundance. After rain, there are many mosquitoes. But when it really heats up (usually a week or so after a front moves thru & rain comes) the mosquitoes disappear & the midges come. But good rain is completely unpredictable, & rain in this zone only seem to happen a couple of times a year.

Immediately behind they were the ants rusher to they setting traps. I chased the swarm - rapidly - about 8 ft of ants. Unfortunately it was dusk - 7 PM - & I couldn't stop to watch them. When I checked the traps set a they were a couple of dozen feet further down the path. 24 March Nothing further in traps. Saw 2 troupes of monkeys.

Says the World Bank currently is financing the conversion of 600,000 ha to colonial, of which 300,000 have already been completed. Berkelhorden tried to get info from them, & a limnan (he spent a month looking around Brazil) on how long a field can be planted in colonial before it must be rotated or fertilized. No one knows - few fields older than 5 yrs, two older have been treated in various ways. No one seems to know have good data on how long the fields are good for, & what happens as they are depleted (except the World Bank, which gains 15 yrs at least but produces no detail). Berkelhorden has observed that the grass is extremely aggressive, outcompeting both the other foreign grasses & the native species, taking over fields very quickly. Someone should be keeping an eye on this, i.e. possible effect on what happens if the stuff runs wild if it is not controlled. Succession?

A SENAPA man is here for a day or two. This is the govt malaria control organization. As their modus operandi according to him, has been to treat sick rather than go after mosquitoes; the at first they did collect sticky papers for identification & analysis. But in last few years they've been visiting each ranch & Indian village, checking in sick people. They try to visit each ranch every 2-3 months. They distribute medicine when needed, for free. The campaign has been successful in the Chaco (malaria was unknown here before the Chaco war [see] when soldiers from the last 89 probably introduced it).

But no animals weather too cold for bat netting. & Lost the deer skin & skull to a dog. At least it was good eating. Identified ringed teal, black-necked stilts. Lots of the former. I was amazed to find that the hillbuck on which the house & outbuilding are built is of rich, black soil. A Huaienga says most anything will grow there. He said they are 2 other similar areas he knows of on the land. One is just across the river & was, until 7-8 year ago, used for growing mandioc & vegetables. The other is distant & wild. I walked over to see do those are now. The trail passes the place where bricks were made for the houses a number of years ago, then crosses the dam on the river, which runs behind the house. The dam must be at least 150 m long & made of clay & was mostly overgrown with brush & In trees. At least 10 year old, probably older, according to Huaienga. Currently it is broken in no sections.

Isot held w thermometer in shade not with my hot hands in sun. Temp under the log from which it came was 4,5°C. Tapor! Left Charrua shortly afterward. Stopped at Experimental station 1 mi. while to look at grass plots. Puncium colatatum & Pangola are the most successful but a few others seem promising in special situations. Then stopped at Rio Verde shortly. Very few animal tracks - a few deer, a few pig, & some old tapir prints.

The Noctilis must have recently molted all are a very bright orange in contrast to the dull yellow brown we usually see. Colur similar colored Noctilis a year ago, in the eastern region. On the smaller pond, rapidly drying up there only about 10-15 ft long $ 6' web, there were so many Noctilios that after the full web right after dark, their feet made continuous splashing cloud - they hit the water hard. In the late afternoon, but before dark, Pet & I shot several guinea pigs along the road & the edge of the water (caring to drink?). They are abundant. Pile brush, ittony tusks, etc - all underlain, by trails. The white urine stains $ the droppings are everywhere. Seem to be diurnal or at least we never see them at night.

Considerably dead wood very soft cotton, lining the road right parallelly to the road 30ft or so back into the river swery. Probably been there since the road was built. Into this went 19 collapsible Shermans & my 15 homemade non-collapsible Shermans. Vegetation like before, but more castes especially a leaved which has glaudrial leaves that flat in the ground mats. Various spines. Lots of armadillo holes, deer's pig tracks. Parrots including a new, unidentified (so far) kind. Chorata. Looked hard for Cleomys leucurus, finally found a few old ones about 3km outside of the road, too late to do anything about it. Drove up & down the road from 2:30-8:30 PM with Bob could not catch 1 Totus bolito & sacava fox. Not much moving, the rest were too tired to stick with it very long. Afterward (4PM) I went for a walk. In about a km I saw 3 Totus Bolito & caught 2: a 8's & a 9.

At that time it was warm but not hot (temp in 70's). This time the temp had been very high (36 C) its preceding day. Perhaps it gets too hot under the tin roof & do birds breed (or the palm logs. At least there were no squeaking under the roof this time, & the centinel was last. The M. nigricans - M. albeus separation was unusual too. Before we've seen mixed ups. & the M. albescens? We did hear squeak in the cool house roof where we couldn't get at the birds. Perhaps that's formed a new very colony Looks like this might be a good nesting place if it dies out a little more.

But not trying to net one walk a mistake. Lovett described his steel trap method. He drag a dead carcass from a distance of up to a mile, upto the trap. Then bury it. Set the trap in shallow hole 6-8" away, cover with plastic to keep dirt from under the tread, them sprinkle w/ dirt. Fish drop catle, fox, other meat anything. Consider 5-10% trap success good. Result of method is that it looks like something has buried a kill & also stuff comes to dig it up & get caught. 23 Aug Went out w/ Covell. He picks his trapsites about at random.

Academy Bay, Isla Santa Cruz, Galapagos Is., Ecuador G. scanders called cactus finches were seen frequently feeding on the pollens of cactus flowers, & their faces were closely smeared with pollen. Some of the G. fortis had beaks full of what appeared to be cactus pulp. The finches are generally calm-iant. We certainly saw far more than we caught, even right around the nest. They move in mixed flocks, thus any area is seldom completely without finches. The yellow warbler seem to move with them, tho the mockingbird seem to keep apart. All birds were surprisingly active during late morning & mid afternoon. We caught finches at all times of day. The early morning period was most productive, but the difference between early mornin catch, to that of other times of day was not as great as it has been in either [illegible] temperate or tropics areas I've settled - a facts of 2 to 3 at most. The finches respond well to squeaking & "pishing" - almost to the point of landing on the observer. The warbler & flycatchers also are susceptible. The best strategy for catching birds however was to find an that squawked a lot (some individual species sex & of any sp seem to be more noisy than others of the same sex or sp) & hold!

Also yellow warblers. Put out 26 tomahawk traps & 75 Sherman (Large collapsible type). Most traps went into the scutes zone where we had best luck last trial. Fruit D'ran - few anyone of the native.

We picked them up both near the high tide line & inland a short distance. The most came from closer to the H2O. We saw numerous scorpions, especially in the sand & centipedes. The beach was literally covered with a small beetle (Phaleria we found out later) & its larva. Almost any square inch of surface sand would have produced a couple. Beetles were concentrated on the sea lion feces. At 1/4 sq feces would have hundred. Flies were numerous also - so bad that in places we had to remove our headgloves & lived them away from our faces. The cause of all this nised life trees undoubtedly the sea lion way. We saw perhaps 50 During the day they either basked on the beaches or were off in the water, but at night they moved back from close shorelines into the rocks & bushes, where we were trying to set traps & search for geckos. They seemed more irritable than by day, also, making walking at night a hazardous operate. Those of us that tried to sleep on the beach found themselves were actually chased off!

The sea lions have evidence been present in large #s for a considerable amount of time judging from the scurion the rocks they drag themselves over. They are very persistent in this often going 20 or 30 feet or more from the water edge & climbing to heights of at least 10 or 15 feet on rocks. They strongly prefer certain rocks, or at least [illegible] certain rocks are well worn & shiny while most are not. Probably 500-600 individuals. There were bones of numerous dead sea lions on the beach & no fresh carcas. I picked up several skulls of young animals, all rotten pretty across the rostrum. We saw only one at after dark. Others have reported them as being a serious nuisance to campers due to their Elusiveness & lack of fear. We saw none of this. Talked to a graduate student named Clark working on Rattios Dumeray, but who had time consisting of the Barrington organism. Based on hair trapping to exhaustion, of a grid plus trapping & transect thru various habitat, to get an idea of habitat preferences, they estimate the total population to be in the order of 200,000 - 500,000 sets. They decide that currently the population is

Our trap results are consistent with this for a best success was up down avenue away from where we caught most rats last time. Also we caught 15 of so rats that had been ear tagged by Clark, the nearest part of his grid was about 100 m away. He saw the same thing -- movement over light of up to 200 meter. With such high density, large home ranges are impossible if the rats are at all territorial. 22 Jan So we caught 39 rats in our 101 traps not near as many as last time. Due to the different area trapped & the time lapse since Clark tagged the ones he caught (at least a couple of months) one can hardly use a Lincoln index. Yet it should be noted that 15 of the 39 were ear tagged, & that works the distance & relative difference in trapping locality & the relative home range & in fraction tagged should tend to make a Lincoln index too small rather than too large -- suggesting that perhaps the rat pop. is not so big after all. But as long as we have no idea what sort of area we're sampling this is pure.

Barrington Bay, Isla Barrington, Galapagos, Ecuador 22Jan speculations F Finch nesting was generally poor this we caught lots of warblers & especially Morklingbirds. Species caught were Geospiza scandens ( most common), the we could only catch F's (M's were seen often), G. fuliginosa, G. fortis & Caatlider in decreasing order of abundance. We saw one hawth, banded by De Vries (#19) & perched on a branch above the pile of rat traps. The rat fell immediately of frog, despite the fact that we were working all mice away from them & they had been practically active. Try stayed "frozen" until its bank left, well photographed & very frustrated, 45 minutes late. Most of do time it perched on a trap (with a rat in it) which I had set a few feet to the side. I photographed it from a distance of less than 3 feet. There were lots of propellums & they were easy to catch. There seemed to be a disproportionate large # of G's, as at least of F's w/out the typical red on the throat. I saw a single landiguana, which I photographed. It was small, ~15" & very skittish. All other guanas were present the in small #s. One green

On the morning of the 25th we got up at 4 AM & took a bus up to Progress, a town of perhaps 1-2000 people in the highest elevation only about 2-3000 ft (+), but vegetation & soil are remarkably different. The soil is distinct gruffy because there is sand & it is deep. By the ocean there is very little soil only rocks or sand. Light brown color, friable. Trees are almost all either guava or citrus. Not high (15-20'), but dense. There are a few very large trees, perhaps lobos or fig. Coffee plantations, bananas, papaya, etc. farm pictures, etc. Very exquisite. Very wet. It sprinkled briefly while we were there, but most of the water probably comes from cloud condensation. Or at least the meals contain more & even

We caught at least 50. Geospiza conirostris, G. fuliginosa & Certhidea olivacea, are the most common. G. fortis is present but rare; we caught only also lizards & flycatchers & warblers, call in light #1's. Could it be that the absence of rats correlates with the high # of birds? Found that clearing large thick brush worked well. The Tropeken here are very large adults, ~8". They are sweeter than the ones larger on San Cristobal (~5"). Abundant & easy to catch. We made 2 per 15 in less than 30 minutes. They were present everywhere we went, in trees & on the ground. We did not go far inland, however. Tegestids are also abundant. We were setting hard in the early eve to catch 15, in leaf litter, among rocks. When we arrived back at camp Wright showed us literally dozens, far from rocks, in the vegetation along the edge of the sandy beach. After that there were many too small beetles in the sand (similar to those on Santa Barrington but less dense); perhaps this co-occurs itself. Few variegated iguanas, lots of sea lions. Perhaps 30-40 adults.

The park people had contracted to collect them line & drive them to the beach, where a Peruvian boat would load them in. The boat never came & the goats were killed & rotted in site. We think that the carcass accounted for the fantastic fly population last time which in turn accounted for the concentration of Tropidurus along the shore. Apparently not so, for there were still flies & lizards in just as great quantities. (We were camped along the S place). The # of lizards is truly fantastic. Scarcely a m^2 is without at least one. They are on the bare rocks beneath bushes or sand, & in trees. When the tide is down they follow the water edge out. And everywhere we went on the island there were large #'s - even in the highlands. Behaviorally strange - the ?'s rarely bother one another, albeit several may be on one rock. But the ?'s are aggressive & territorial, lots of posturing, threat, & actual attacks.

Grass grows in some of the depressions & a pair of pintails floating on one. Even though the water in the ponds nearer the sea was brackish, the egret still fell w. the tide. Sea water may put the entire water table right down. Hard rain almost continually over the nearest mountains. In late afternoon it finally reached us & rained hard for a couple of hours. Refreshing. Water heard running under the lava. Set out to take hawk in & near the mangroves. Caught 4 nets. Saw no rat sign. But there is an abundant foot print sign, both dropping & brows. Evergreen also saw both cat (me) & dog (patton) feces. I see deer, but it's an inappropriate place. Birds difficult.

He also found one hanging from a 1" diameter branch on one of the darker, smaller leaved, dense mangroves, L. cevenes. Hanging more or less in the open, easy to grab. Did not awaken despite much shaking as I climbed the tree. Pregnant female, 2 embryos (CL = 15mm), entered in Patton's Catalogue (#4032). Saw no others. The tide was very high. We turned a few rocks right at the water edge, saw 2 geckos. They may have been forced out of their normal haunts by the high water. Back on the sand I early we set out the 76 tomahawks. Caught only 4 rob, despite the excellence of the bait [illegible] crobs. No useful trends regarding other trap localities. Tropidurus collected as usual.

He is not permanently stationed here, but often is. Furthermore these feral animals are rife. Pigs & goats everywhere. We saw dozens of goats. Learned that the best way to hunt them (sans rifle) is to run down. They run only in a sprint. We can keep track of them for a little while - it has the endurance to keep goin - the goat will eventually stop in, it's track quivering just waiting to be done in.

We arrived ~ 9:30 AM. Weather was partly cloudy, occasional rain showers. Had rained hard just before we arrived. Air temp about 12°C, light breeze. The barn itself is a large wooden & concrete structure in the center of buildings around headquarters. It is long & narrow, wooden walls & roof. In the middle (in the long direction) there [crossed out] is a short structure; the roof itself rises so that from the air the building must have sort of a T-shape, i.e., a support at top. The bats are in this center area, between rafter rafters & the roof (made of some sort of composite material, red color on its outside) & hanging on the sides of the rafters. The Forest Service erected a scaffolding so that Patton & Jones could get up to the bat to try to "eradicate" them. They also have placed strong lights near the roof which [crossed out] from an attractant during cold weather. And, they have sprayed several times with pine oil with no permanent result.

Two of the clusters consisted of Myotis bat & these were probably at least 3-400 in the barn. The 2nd species is Myotis thysanodes, slightly larger. There were about 30 individuals in a group of 15 also. I also caught 2 solitary Myotis californicus small & w. very small feet. Tadarida brasiliensis have been caught here - & the place still smelled of them. 4 also Antrozous. Properly over deep in the rafters. It is obviously an old roost (the barn is at least 70 years old). Air temperature in the barn at the level of the bats was 10-11°C. The bats were torpid but after handling they began to arouse & up in 2 hrs all were flying. My strong impression that the M. thysanodes were deeper in torpor (at least slower to arouse) than the M. yumanensis. Centaurs the M. thysanodes also closer to the (only) light bulb. About 50% of the M. yumanensis were very early pregnant & 90-100% of the M. thysanodes were pregnant all but were q, with the exception of one or 2 M. californica. Most were fat on dissection.

But the owner claimed that previously they were a great deal. On exploring the rest of the roof (undamaged) we found 2 large clusters of ? Plecostes townsendi & 2 solitary bats. The ?'s were relatively alert & able to fly immediately or up in a few minute. The bats were very targeted. We could see a few young hairless bats in the ? cluster. Since the whole attic & roof is to be torn out & repaired, we decided to collect as many bats as we could. I managed to capture 80-90% of the ?'s ( & all the bats ) by simply surrounding the clusters with the mouth of a bat bag & forcing them down into it.

By this time I was 30 feet or so from the brush in which it had been concealed. I waved my arms yelled & picked up a piece of wood & it ran back to the brush. It continued growling until after I was out of sight. I am convinced that if I had continued rather than,

Myers Phil 1974 Jocerva 60 Red Barn, National Seashore Ridgtrs, [unintelligible] Olema, Marin Co., Calif. 18 July '69. While we could hear the bats seemed to be close to the roof. Only 2 live guys seen though of course more may have been present. There were 107 dead guys in the little below the roof. Picked up the guys under the roof. Nearly 600 gms of feces (dead guys) have accumulated since the last two untried the day, 14 June. Also present were 1 M. thysanodes & no Tadarida. Most &o showed signs of recent lactation but several were always not pregnant using even the milk was expressed from their nipple. Most bear a fair amount of fat. We checked the five hours & found no bats. There were few droppings. The car barn, however, produced our first M. yumanensis which looks like a war-breeding & but I preserved the testicles. He was by himself. Muddy Hollow, National Seashore, Marin Co., Calif. 200 ft. This time there were lots & lots of them. Myotis yumanensis? - rather reddish. They were out on the beams on the roof rather than up under the subroof. I captured about 10. At first I thought they were pregnant & lactating,

Myers Phil 1974 Journal 62 Red Barn National Seashore, Lompoc, Calif. clear at 10 PM. 30 July temp at roost 20C. 6 Antiguus, 4 in a cluster by light & 2 apart. all are adult O's. Only 6 Mystis guamensis visible. all collected. 3 were juveniles but flying. Many more bees were present, up under the roof where we could hear them but not see them. Only 2 young bees beneath the roost. This time there were several Icadeia on the E side off the barn, mostly above the under the roof. But I saw open, strong odor. Nothing in the car born, the car was no longer parked in an appropriate place to collect droppings. Picked up a Phoca at Kelham beach. One of the rangers (Tan Vaughan) drove us in. On the route in, less than a mile from the gate beyond which the public must walk, we saw several (4-5) stick & leaf nest, 50-60 feet up in a Douglas fir. Bob Jmer thought they might be Phenocamp which are not known from this far south. But were likely squirrel nests. The nests were about halfway between the treth & the periphery & appeared to be 1-2 feet in diameter.

NPS PIU 1974 Journal 63 5 Sept Red Barn, National Seashore, Point Reyes, Marin Co., Calif. No bat hanging in the beam. We picked out a few from above the beam by using long tweezers. Relatively few droppings. # to one of Myotis [illegible] in the Red Barn, probably a juvenile (?). Also an intriguing & tame Fulmarus especially in the E. end of barn. Muddy Hollow, National Seashore, Marin Co., Calif. Report from the park rangers (questions by Dick Brown) that there were many bats. We used hand net & magnifying glass and caught all we saw 22 in total. # There were lots of sleeping. Evidence also that carpenters had been at work putting in new installations. Probably their hanging got the best of flying around creating an impression of more bats than there really were. Most of these (15 of the 22) we took to Delimard, totaled & released.

Meyers pied 1974 Journal Red Barn, Natural Search Lodge W O Lena Marin Co Calif. Few droppings in the barn. I did not disturb them. at the N end of the barn (closer to near the Ranger Buildings) there were a # of droppings on the floor pieces of mole cricket. Could see no bats. Antlerage right coast? Checked the car barn - dragging but no bats. Weldy Hollow, Natural Search Marin Co Calif. Picked 5 Oryctes yunnameni from the saddle. 4 of these were juveniles & I released them in Richmond (unmarked). No great quantity of fresh droppings on the floor but there were some. Nice look at a fallow deer buck as it walked down the road 80 ft in front of us. Dirty white. Spoon shaped antlers in back spike in front. Massive neck tho its body was smaller than an Odocoileus hemionus. (car legs are also) Saw a pair of deer of about 5 st heard what must have been their bugging More like chuckling this was about 18:30 PM. For just leaving from Weldy Hollow, the deer further inland.
