April 17-1932.
Mine [illegible] miles east of Pocatello,
I hurried out about 4 P.M. to
collect some bats for class observation
in Biology school work.
My last visit here had
been on Feb. 14 when 10 Corynorhinos
and 4 Myotis had been observed in
3 different tunnels.
I did not visit No. 1 tunnel
where one Myotis had been previously
noted.
I found only two Corynorhinos
in No. 2. They were collected
alive.
#3 Tunnel, where 1 Corynorhinos
and 2 Myotis had been noted on
Feb. 14, no bats of either sort
were found.
This tunnel is more often
visited by boys from town than any
other tunnel around the countryside,
and although one cannot be
sure, it is more probable that these
individuals spotted here 2 months
before, had been raided or killed
by boys, rather than withdrawn of their
own accord -- all of them. (over)
