Bats.
Feb. 2. 1929. Motive continued
and appeared to [illegible] dead for
some time.
Due to drying, there was
no object in attempting to
weigh the carcasses of the
dead specimens.
Weather was very
severe during this period,
and although [illegible] the cage
was placed at a point where
most of the specimens were
taken off it is possible that
they would have moved into
the mine deeper, had they
been free; so they may
have frozen. 20 degrees below
zero was recorded during this
period.
There has been no evidence
of insect life, which might
be used for food by these bats,
in these mine tunnels.
Two little Brown Bats were collected
on this date. Cat. # 4. Female.
one not saved.
