Quest 1948 Journal 96 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.
