Aetra Springs, Napa Co., Calif.
Sept. 16
Left 12:30 with auto, Sisey Young, and bride. Stopped
at Angwin and got 1 ♂ Cory in attle of Stone Minery
(Henphill same day got thysarodes in one of the
college buildings). Then drove to Aetra Springs and
found Cory in attle overbetchen: one young ♂ and
2 adult ♀♀ and about 8 young ♂♀, all banded.
About 4 escaped, one of them being a male (judging
by band on r.-wing). Kept all of them to use in
mating experiments. In the Aetra Mines tunnel
found one adult ♀ (banded) and 3 adult males
not banded, all with big testes. The red-dirt tunnel
that used to have the Peromyscus nest 75 yards back
now has about 6 nests, all of shredded bark. Saw
about 6 Peromyscus at the lock-end of this tunnel.
Also looked in a new tunnel of antler further up
the hill - a good tunnel but no bats.
Spent the night at the pool on Pope Creek -
rained during night.

Hill and missed one. Nothing in OP tunnel. Missed
one in the Knopville tunnel also. Home after lunch.
Was impressed by fact that almost all the
Cories were anobe, ♂ and ♀. One young ♂ was apparently
