10/3/25 45 October 3, 1925 - clear day rained at night We raided Monte Cristo again with the large net. (10570) We caught one hairy-legged bat, four Grizzly bats, several Yellow and Brown leaf-nosed (10567) bats, and one which I called Golden leaf-nosed bat. Van took pictures of several of live bat faces for me. (10567)(10568)(10569)(10570)(10571). The bats that I had in the room for to work on tomorrow escaped through a hole in a window. October 4, 1925 - I spent the day looking for mammal signs along a rocky cliff where I expect to put out a trap line. October 5, 1925 - clear during the forenoon but threatened rain during the afternoon. We departed for Monte Mayor which is four hours mule back ride N.E. of Divisadero. Monte Mayor is an old mine on the bank of a river at the foot of a mountain range. During the afternoon I followed the course of a stream which comes tumbling down over the river in many falls and empties into the river that flows by Monte Mayor. While looking for signs of large mammals near the water's edge I saw some bats shift farther into the shade of a large rock. I shot two which proved to be Brown leaf-nosed bats. However they seemed to have a soany appearance which I had not noticed on the same bats at Divisadero. Once a female was carrying a clinging young. the auto with these specimens.
