a. Feathers Darida Ranch, Hunter District 20 mi. W. Red Bluff, Tehama Co., Calif. (alitude unknown at writing) Nov. 19, 1933. Went to Ginger Creek Canyon, where the previous day I had discovered a colony of bats in a rock crevice. Discovery had resulted from hearing the bats squaking. I was able to secure one specimen of Tadarida with a tweezer arrangement of slender sticks. The canyon walls are rugged sandstone formation, with water in "potholes". The crevise containing the bats is approx - imately 1 in. wide, 3 ft. deep, vertical, just above high-water line and with a southern exposure. The crevice must contain a dozen bats. The specimen was taken alive, in a semi-dormant state. After remaining for a few hours in a warm room it flew rather clumsily. It was quite fat. 77. 8 Tadarida 94-32-10-43 Nov. 23, 1933. At 9:00 A.M. my hound, Bugle, com- menced trailing something away from the close vicinity of the house. Taking a .22 rifle I followed slowly. Within a mile three young coons (at least) were attacked by the dog on the ground.
