1927 El Tablon, Lake Guija, Dept., Santa Ana, Salvador May 29, 1927 - There was nothing in the traps again today. I went with van Rossem to get more Rhynchiscus and to see where the others had been taken. There in a fertile little valley a good sized stream ran through a small banana grove. It was near the grove where a willow tree perhaps two feet in diameter leaned out over the stream. It was under this trunk that the bats were hanging. One in flight looked very much like a small swallow in flight. The specimens fell into the water when shot. In the banana grove I shot a Uroderma, two others escaped.
