P. PEARSON 1949 at about 10:15 p.m. no further move had been made. Slept in "middle" chamber of north branch. Jan. 15 In morning some change had occurred in north branch (see Maria notes) Dandel remained. In south-left chamber (unstudied all night), 5 singles had left their original places, the large group of 15 had dwindled to 13, one group of 6 had enlarged to 14, and a group of 5 had dwindled to 1. The total number of bats in the chamber in a.m. was same as yesterday afternoon but of the 56, at least 17 must have moved during this night. Both 32 and 44 had moved. In the high-ceilinged cross-tunnel a group of 2 30's and 2 40's had not moved, a pair (8+9) had not, and 1 single had arrived. Temperatures in a.m.: outside, -2° F; left chamber of north cave (where bats hung) cont[acted] 0°; left chamber of south cave +1° c; high ceiling of cross-tunnel, -2° C. Looked into the south cave that Parrish showed me yesterday afternoon. There were two tunnels, one about 50 ft. long, the other 100+, both open at both ends. no bats. [Simen Zehol on topo map] [Simpson fork] Stopped at the store at Maa/boatchs to ask about other caves. Was directed to the Bidwell Ranch which is 3 or 4 miles back the road east of Mashooatibe. The last unmarried daughter Bidwell took us along the bottom of the river in search of a couple of ice caves that she had found in a dozen and a half times" but failed to find them. Then drove to "old Jess" Conrad's house on the old Fall River Mills Rd. east of Cassel. He showed me a hole at 6-mile hill out of which warm air poured, but needed ladder to
