O. P. PEARSON 1949 2 bats were flying already by the pool. They disappeared before I could shoot at them. They did not return in 5 minutes so I started to set out Museum Specials along a small stream through meadow with some green grass, mostly drygrass, and a few clumps of sedge. Batted with malant and sedge. Had only set about 22 when I saw bats flying, so went after them. They were feeding at edge of moade, still quite light, only two bats, quite small. Probably Mystus calf. From then until 8 p.m. numerous bats flew around the pool or actually drank. Tried shooting at first but not enough open sky to see against. Then tried netting until 8, when the numbers had diminished. at least 3 kinds present: 1) small, quiet, slow flyers that almost hovered as they drank; 2) large faster that made loud wing-flapping sounds; 3) large very fast that made wind-whistling sounds as it flew. Then jacklighted for a while. Saw and missed 1 raccoon, saw 1 Peromyscus manic, removed 2 from traps, and heard great hooted and screeched out, and I think one slave of barn owl. Then more netting at pool until 10 - but no bats. Aug 26 Some bats flying at 5 a.m. near pool but couldn't get any. Traps held 4 more mammalatus and 2 Zapus pacificus. [yesterday at 6:10 p.m., between Schoolhouse Peak & Couple Peak passed 4 gronce, 2 of them stood within 6 feet of the road as I drove past at 5 m.p.h.] In having French camp my impression is that
