Benson 1948 31 Pomerene, Marin Co. Calif. Oct. 16 Visited the Coyorhinus barn 1 mi S of Pomerene in the afternoon. Found 3 carp with attre, quite awake and flew readily down the stairs and hung up into heater room. Shot 2 of them, the third got away. (Benson had reported there here 2 weeks ago. Both mine were female, both landed. Full noon, saw 2 kinds of bats flying at angle over edge of rush; one sp. was large, narrow-winged, fast flyer; other small, slow but rather straight flyer. Picked up a Pernygenus in damp woods at 4 p.m.. It was hopping rather casually over the leaves like a toad. Seemed sickly and had several fleshy net angular region. Went back to the barn at about 9:15 p.m. Many mystica nympanensis flying at bottom of stairs and in heater room, also spatious in main room. At least 8 were in a cruck behind a board on the stair landing. They had not been there in the afternoon. Shot several of them as well as one antrozona in the main room. In the middle garage downstairs were a few more Nn. nympanensis and 2 thysonodes which I shot. All these collected had full stomachs. Oct. 17 Returned to the barn about 10 a.m.. Shot one more Corynorhinus (unbanded) in the garret (perhaps the one that escaped yesterday). No other bats found. More behind board on landing where the nympanensis had last night. All bats of all species were fat. Oct. 20 Returned to Pomerene with Mary & Carl Koford and AKP et al. Went to the Rite-Aid Market and asked for Lewdi as per instructions. Lewdi was away but one of the other people working in the store [owner ?]
