easily taken in a butterfly
net, I always found them
in the main tunnel and
never in laterals. Another
interesting genus found in
the tunnel was Natalus, No. 12092.
It was found in a short
lateral with many Glossophaga
where it was located about
two feet from the floor and
clinging to a tiny projection
on the tunnel wall. Most of the
other bats were above. I saw
a Mylomys as it hurried behind
some partially decayed and
water soaked poles.
Clear day. 7 A.M. - 71°F. in
shade. 7 A.M. - 79°F. in sun, --
12 N - 91°F. in shade - 12 N - 108°F. in sun.
December 11, 1926 - Several
mines in the vicinity of Monte Cristo
were visited to-day - Marquitos,
Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, and
others. Only one genus, Glossophaga,
was found, and usually very
few in numbers. The water
was too deep for us to enter
the North Monte Cristo tunnel,
however we saw many bats far
back in the tunnel.
