December 23, 1926 I went North West of Alvisados about one mile to a banana grove for solitary bats here I got 6 specimens of which we have never gotten before until R. G. got 6 on December 22 he getting 5 of one kind and 1 of another I got 4 of the kind he got 1 of and 2 of the ones he got 5 of these bats hang on the banana leaves in where their isn't much sunshine and clost to a damp place. Their is a small stream running through this grove it making a very good place for these bats, and they are found in a place where a large leaf has partly broken of it being a very nice place and making a kind of a V shape place there is where I found the bats hanging in 2 two in a place I shot these with a .410 shot pistol and only killing one the rest were crippled. They seem to be a very hard bat to kill. I then returned to he house and helped to put them up and make alcoholic bats out of some R. G. got over to a mine where he went to today
