September 26, 1925 - warm
morning. Rained in the afternoon
and evening. About 8 p.m. we took
flash lights and mine lamps and
gwent down to the Carolina mine. In
one short tunnel we caught 12 female
Brown leaf-nosed bats. Nearly
every one of these bats carried embryos.
Some of the females that were kept
in captivity in a tank bore their young.
In another short tunnel we found
the Salvador brownbats. These look
quite different from the specimens
collected at Olomega. These are much
more bluish in comparison to the
brownish color of the others. In specimens
from both places I noticed that the
edge of the membrane, between the foot
and the first finger, is white. These
bats were found in a short tunnel and
only back out of the sunlight, not back
where it was dark. Mr. Van Rossem
shot several on the shady side of a
rocky cliff on a mountain 4 m. N.E. of
Divisadello. They were all females.
September 27, 1925 The day
was spent working up specimens
caught the day before.
