Lee Arnold 1937 Myotis (sp.?) 2 mi W Smith Creek Cave, 6,300 ft., Mt. Moriah, White Pine Co., Nevada. June 15, Five adult & shot. Three of these had well developed single embryos. Could it be that the males do not come out until later or that they are in a different locality. Probably the presence of water and an abundant growth of willows is attractive to the insects that the bats feed upon- thus the presence of vast numbers of bats. It certainly seems an ideal spot for flies, gnats and mosquitos.
