at least one of these seemed to be larger, darker, and
a straighter flyer than yours.
No more bats at 5:30 a.m. and only 2 Rippers
megalothe in traps south of road. No more meistras.
Forgot to mention 1 Mrs by Ienia far out toward
bay SE of road last night.
April 28
left 7:15 a.m. with auto, infants, + Mary for Actros
Springs. Arrived 10: and caught 48 T Coryphorhinis in attic
over kitchen. Only a few escaped. Banded 32 and released
them in attic, brought 16 home for testing rate of development
of fetim in warm and cold rooms.
Up the road about 1 mile are the Actros Muira (screwing),
we were shown into one tunnel where the co-owner saw
bats flying "like a swarm of bees" last June+. There
were no bats present. Several other tunnels were boarded
up or we were told they were "not open": In any event,
these tunnels so near a breeding colony offer a good
possibility for keeping track of a colony all year round.
No [illegible] bats in Angwin nursery.
May 5
left 4:30 p.m. with Holt Bailey for San Quentin. Set 44
Benson traps and 90 Sherman boxes with oatmeal for meistras.
94 of them in Labormia north of Road at San Quentin and
rest in grass at Corte Madera, at 9 p.m. had caught 3
meistras in S.A. line, didn't check others. One Antozymus
night roosting in brick barn at 8:30.
