O. P. PEARSON 1949-1950 26 had no bats this time or when Mary Todd & anita measured it. It's temperature at 10 a m was 13° C. Noted that the adult males tend to hold the tail (when folded) more tightly curled around under the body than do the females and young males. Not always, but most of the time. In each of the two good tunnels there were about nine more bats found in the morning than were counted the previous evening. It is not unlikely that some of these arrived from elsewhere during the night. In other words, bats may still be arriving at these wintering tunnels, but where are 26 of the 30 that Todd, Mary & Anita hauled a few weeks ago. at the divide between Montrello and Rapa there are now hanging on the fence five coyotes and 2 bob-cats! Fremont Peak, Monterey Co. Jan. 19 Jan. 19. Drove to top of Fremont Peak with anita, Mrs Kelley et al. looked into various natural caves and tunnels at noon. Found torpid m & f coy in small natural cave at very tops of peak. Both torpid, the female with tiny drops of blood? on tip of hairs. In large mine tunnel on south- west slope near crest we found a torpid m un., volans a torpid f ins. thypanodes, and a torpid f coy, all hanging in open from ceiling. One more f coy in a tunnel on north slope, also with blood? on fur.
