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.
