E. M. Brock 1955 Journal San Blas, Nayasit, Mexico where there were some bat caves, Jose, who speaks very good English took us to this cave and we got inside and stretched a hair net over the split. Inside we shot many bats with the 22 dust shot. Most of the bats are a large red bat very close (if not the same as) to Lasianus, Some others were long nosed bat (major Macrotus) while one was a large blakish bat and many others were small reddish (with pointed ears) bat. We took these home and prepared as many as we could and were forced to pickle the rest. Dec. 29 Left San Blas today. After packing and preparing to leave, we left at about 10:30 A.M. for Magatlan. Arrived at Magatlan at about 5 P.M. after having one blow out on the way Made reservations to stay for the night at the Hotel Freemont for 93 pesos a night for the three of us. Dec 30 Get this up at 5:00 o'clock in the morning, eating breakfast and packing we got on our way. After one more blow out on the road and much delay we reached the border about 6:00 o'clock the next morning Dec 31 After leaving the border and driving all day and all the next night we reached Berkeley
