July 19 Mountaineer Mine to Davis, Calif (cont)
were not present in the mine at all. The Macrotes
had, by enlarged, left these mines altogether.
At the second mine where yesterday we had found
perhaps 1500+ bats, today there were scarcely 150+
We did secure about 40 Macrotes and some more
Myotis. We got back to the car about dark and started
back to Davis after dinner at Vidal Junction. We
went via Pinnacles, Amboy, Barstow, Mohave, and
Beckwield arriving about 1:30 PM July 20 at
Davis.

two hundred snaps, George about 40live traps and
60 snap traps.
