May 31 El Chorro, 800+ ft, 2 mi W Agua Caliente Cape District, Baja Calif.
up the canyon yesterday.
Broke camp at 1:30 and departed for
Lanta Anita.
June 1 Lanta Anita, 250+ ft. Cape District, Baja California
Arrived here about 4 P.M. yesterday. Heard
that there were bats in one of the unoccupied
houses at this place so we investigated and
found one Macrotus californicus and about 100
Myotis velifer. The Myotis were clustered in a
corner of the ceiling over a hole leading into
the thick adobe walls. Several were taken by
Dr. Benson, of which I took and put up one.
In another room a single Macrotus californicus
was seen.
Investigated a bat cave about 3/4 mile S.E.
of this place the morning. Found it to be a
narrow hole in a granite cliff face about
75 feet long and wide enough and high enough
to accommodate a crawling man. The cave con-
tained only Macrotus californicus of about 20
in number of both sexes.
Minimum Temperature last night was 64°F.
June 2 6 mi N San Jose del Cabo 250+ ft, Baja California
Minimum temperature last night was 65°F.
We are camped about two miles S.E. of Lanta Anita in
an arroyo bottom. We are surrounded by scattered
palm trees, mesquite, and Guanouchal trees.
