I followed tunnels in various
directions and found Mormoops
to be abundant in most all
parts. Sometimes I saw a
Chilonycteris rubiginosa, Pteronotus,
Natalus or a Glossophaga. Mormoops Nos.
12186 to 12191 inclusive and 12197 to
12200 inclusive were taken. Pteronotus
Nos. 12192 and 12193 were picked
from the sidewalls where I found
them in association with Mormoops.
Clear day. 7 A.M. 62°F, and
12 N. 85°F.
December 19, 1926- During
the afternoon we visited the
No. 3 mine again. As before
along the entrance tunnel where
we had to wade in water we
found Glossophaga and in some of
the first lateral tunnels we I
found them also I saw one
Carollia. In the first cross tunnel
or ore vein there were thousands
of Mormoops. We spread our
mosquito bed net across one
side tunnel and caught 64
Mormoops and one Chilonycteris
rubiginosa by making a drive with
a light. From the first vein
we followed another tunnel
