In this part of the tunnel I saw Glossophaga and Desmodus rotundus. Where the tunnel turned to the left much of the ceiling had caved in apparently exposing a cavity above. This made a room about 20 feet long 14 feet wide and 15 feet high. The highest pockets pockets in the rocks fairly equipped with Artibeus Nos. 12154 to 12160 inclusive, and 12162 to 12165 inclusive were taken. Desmodus rotundus No. 12161 was taken. At the Taralton tunnel we found only Glossophaga, Nos. 12166 to 12168 inclusive were taken, Cloudy, 1 P.M. 80°F. in shade.
