May 27 El Carrigalito, 1400 ft, 5 mi N. Santiago, Baja California
Minimum temperature last night was 74° F, max -
imum today was 87°.
May 28 Location Minimum temperature last night was 70°F. The
valley below us this morning was filled with
fog, but the mountains in back of camp were
clear of fog by daylight and brilliantly it-
luminated by the sun.
For some reason unknown to us, the bats
were very common around the water tanks last
night. I netted eight female Pipistrellus hesperus
between 7:30 and 9 P.M. that were flying
over the upper water tanks. Travis netted four
female Pipistrellus hesperus, one Myotis
californicus and one Corynorhinus at the same
place and time, he working on the side of
the tank opposite to mine. Murray netted
several Myotis californicus and Pipistrellus
hesperus in the same time interval at the
lower tank.
Dr. Benson netted 5♂ and two female
Antrozous minimus in the building last night.
We visited a pool high on the hill last night
at 9:30 P.M. It was circular and about
20 feet in diameter and entirely surrounded
by Palm trees. Dr. Benson said that he saw
a bat (Lasiurus - Lasypeters?) leave one of
the palms at dusk.
