2 ♂♂ and 1 ♀ in a corner of the cave that had not been marked. Total running 15♀♀ and 9 ♂♂ Removed yesterday /7♀♀ and 4 ♂♂/ 22♀♀ 13 ♂♂ About 3:30 p.m. we found that the left cave has a branch that goes past the rock slide that blocks it. This is much the longest branch of any; fairly warm and wet. In it we found only 6 bats: 5 ♂♂ and 1 flew. Here total score for both caves was 22♀♀ and 18 ♂♂ At 1 p.m. went cave hunting with a boy, Brent Parrish, of Rain Rock Ranch, Old Station, Shasta Co. Found one very good Corynorhinus cave a bit SE or E of the Ice Cave that we were in yesterday. Mostly females. Found one pair, ♂ and ♀, unweighted, both torpid. Clearly fluid could be expelled from ♀. Another cave 1.6 miles N of Subway had a very narrow opening and only one large chamber. Contained 1 Cory ♀. Went back to Subway in the evening.

Of the 18 we had spinned in the morning and hung up on the side walls, only two remained where hung at 8:30 p.m., about equal number on ceiling. (By tomorrow morning only 1 remain where put). At 8:35 on first trip through in evening encountered 3♀♀ clustered together. Captured them—all torpid). At another point (also in south branch):
