Myotis (sp.)
Warm Spring, 4,000 ft., 9 mi. E Amedee, Lassen Co,
Calif.
May 27, Single adult ? shot over alfalfa field - others
seen - probably Myotis.
Mouth of Smith Creek Canyon, 5,400 ft., T Mt. Moriah,
White Pine Co., Nevada.
June 10, Two, one adult ? and one adult & shot over
open space next to creek at mouth of canyon.
Most of the bats seen were flying down the
canyon end out on to the desert. I imagine
that they roost in the large caves in the side
walls of the canyon and forage over the
vast open desert. For several nights we have
observed them flying eastward past our camp
in the canyon.
2 mi. W Smith Creek Cave, 6,300 ft., T Mt. Moriah,
White Pine Co., Nevada
June 11, I shot one ? flying about the tops of
the willows around our camp.
June 12, Shot single ? over camp. Weather colder
than night before. There did not seem to
be as many bats flying about.
June 13, Two adult ? shot.
June 14, Four Myotis (sp.?) and one Myotis evotis
shot flying over and among the willow trees
about camp. All of these were ? bats.
The Myotis evotis and the of the Myotis
(sp.?) had well developed single embryos!
