Californicus. Murray shot a Dasypus ega
flying over a small cornfield south of camp at
dusk last night.
Minimum temperature last night was 75°, max-

time of writing is 85° (9:00 P.M.)
Put up bats all day and hunted them again
tonight. Went down on the roadway which is
usually a good place for bats, but saw only
Pipistrellus hesperus feeding low to the ground
up and down the road. Several large bats
were seen flying high and towards the arroyo
bottom from the hills in back of camp at
dusk, but were too high and far away to
identify or shoot.
Netted four Antrozous minor and one Macrotus
californicus in the buildings last night
about 9: PM. They were hanging in ceiling
corners when seen by flashlight. The two
species were hanging in separate rooms.
Murray caught about 10 Pipistrellus hesperus,
several Myotis californicus, and one Eptesicus
fuscus and one Lasiurus borealis at late
dusk and dark tonight.
Tevis, working with the hand net over the
upper tank caught 15 Pipistrellus hesperus, 3
Myotis californicus and 3 Corynorhinus. He caught
