April 26 Mina La Fortuna, 2350 ft, 2 mi N Laguna Seca de la Baja Calif.
One male put up by myself out of 5 adults
and three young caught in mine digging at
10:30 PM. yesterday and 6:30 this morning. Bats
were in spots completely protected from light
and hanging singly. Hanging nearby were
Antrozous.
June 26 Arroyo San Louis, 800+ ft, 9 mi W. Calmalli, Baja California
One female #437, no embryos and lactating,
caught this afternoon by myself in horizontal
shaft of mine here (see Journal pg. 138 for des -
cription). About four more were caught by others
of the group. All of this species were caught
in the furthest recesses of the mine. Although
they were all found in the same area they
appear to hang singly.
June 27 Locatn: One female, #442, and one immature
adult caught by myself in the horizontal
tunnel of the mine this morning. Three were
seen in a side passage near the end of the
tunnel (innermost) of which the above two
were caught. The immature adult was released.
The female contained one large embryo of 30mm,
an interesting fact because of the lactating
females and immature adults present.
Evidently young are born over quite a long
period of time.
