GK Pearson 1969 31 (dawn as last night's) but in it, although I thought I could see 3 species. Bats wheeling around the rocks, they knew the net was there and easily avoided it. We had arrived at the beach before dawn to get to see all the pre-roosting activity. Contrary to the other morning when I saw the bats circling the rocks about 2 ft. away as they flew, this morning the bats appeared at the rock where our net was and then took off in a high direct line towards the blackest cliffs towards the ocean. I suspect they were reacting to our presence. We made chromosome spreads of the two bats and the rat, and then cleared out of the house. We descended on the Davis household about 6, and went to a Pizza restaurant with them and with another expatriate American (Charles Williams, AID). July 31, 1969 - Davis House, Lima Ruford arrived in the morning, and the Pearsons and some of the Davis family spent the time shopping for assorted souvenirs. The expedition left the Davis house about noon as we were setting off for the artisan stalls on Avenida de Marina. We had lunch at an enormous restaurant off of Avda Brasil -
