1927
P.7
San Jose del Sacare, Dept., Chalatenango, Salvador
March 15, 1927 - Two Peromyscus
of the same species as No. 19723
I were destroyed by ants, also
a sub-tropical Peromyscus which
I caught in a dry ravine in
the Oaks was destroyed by
ants.
This evening at 6 P.M.
we returned to the place
where I saw bats flying
last night. At 6:10 P.M., as last
night, I first saw two little
butterfly like bats circling
and darting about the tops
of some tall pines. Finally
one passed over the open space
above me and I was lucky
with my first shot. I spent so
much time looking for my
fallen bat that I didn't get
a chance to shoot again. The
specimen, No. 19727, proved to be
Rhogeessa. Mr. van Rossem saw one
of these little bats flying about
through the Oaks. One large
bat which I saw last evening
looked very much like Nycteris.
Also the squeeking about our
camp sounded like Nycteris.
