Myotis yumanensis

scat at random for stuffing, 19 were females
with one male. Of the seven bats I put
up, all female. Two had embryos (no. 117 +
121 of the series 116-122 incl.)
The beams from which the bats were procured
are part of a large cement-floored porch
about 40 yards long and 10 yards wide.
The beams are about 12 ft off the ground.
Bats were located yesterday afternoon by
their squeaking.
Two females were caught by Dr. Bonan,
Murray & Tevis at the jail at dusk last
evening.
One was caught and two others seen yesterday
in same room in which the Tadarida mexicana
were caught. The Myotis were seen to enter a
small crack in the ceiling in the opposite end
of the room.
10:00 P.M. Two flew into the room we are
using at 7:30 P.M. One hid in the ceiling im-
mediately, but the other was kept flying
by chasing it with a broom until 8:10 PM
when the other returned with its hand notes.
At the end of the forty minutes, the bat
appeared to be tiring, its entire efforts being
made in finding a place protected enough
to rest.
