Rio San Miguel, 13°25' N. Feb, 2, -21, 1926 Fringe-lipped Bats body could pass no farther. I shoved, and threw pieces of cotton wood ahead and in a moment nearly all the bats had gone by me. I lit a match and saw only one or two [illegible] so I turned to drive the others into the net. This was easily done as it was now growing dark fast out side. We carried them back to camp in the net while they squeaked and bit each other! On the morning when I made a close examination of the content of the net I found Fringe-lipped Bats and Brown Leaf-nosed Bats there. There were a few immature Brown Leaf-nosed Bats some of which were probably not more than a day old. One of these I found half eaten. The stomach content of the Fringe-lipped Bats [illegible] was hair and flesh. One close examination I found the hair to compare almost exactly with that of the immature Brown-Leaf-nosed Bats.
