Myotis californicus

May 5 Bahia Concepcion 13 mi S.E. Mulege Baja California
One shot by Dr. Benson last evening at
dusk. Bat was feeding over cliffs bordering
beach where we were camped.
May 13 Santa Ana, Arroyo de Los Viejos, 25 ft, 24°03'N, 110°58'W Baja Cal.
Two females and five males obtained by group
around fresh-water pond in arroyo below house at
Santa Ana. Bats were flying about pond, coral, palm
and "Mangle Dulce" trees at late dusk. I shot
one male (#172). His epididimis glands were located
in the scrotatum and swollen. The females
done by Twiss were said to contain no embryos.
Minimum last night was 51° F.
May 23 Buena Vista, 25 ft, 23°35'N, 109°41'W, Baja California
One male and one female caught by land net in
house nearly our camp last night (#236, 237). The
female had one embryo of 10 mm. This species was
seen last night and the night previously flying
very close to the house and in and out its low
porch and open doors at dusk. The two specimens
cought last night were netted in the large central
room of the house. Several people have lived in
the houses for years although all were outside
while the bats were flying. I would estimate
that there were about 10 individual in that
particular group of bats.
