D.O. Shaney 1977 83. 3 Aug. (contd.) Food is expensive, then returned to Simla for a snack, then ~ 5:30pm walked ~ 100 yds down Simla "Driveway" to a trail cutting thru an open[illegible] flat area of overgrown cocoa plantation. Set 3 nets (see reverse) before dark running into some wasps as we did. Saw one small bat flying at 5:53pm. Nets up by 6:30 - just at sunset. By 10:30pm had caught [illegible] Phyllostomus hastatus, 16 Carolia perspicillata, 1 Micronycteris megalotis, 3 Artibeus jamaicensis, 2 A. literatus and 3 A. cinereus in roughly that order. The P. hastatus came in right after dusk & was caught in the bottom of a net. Carolia were omnipresent; the Micronycteris was easily identified in the land by the band connecting the ears - under this band the skin was unharred & I first thought that I had ripped off the skin on the head - in life this band seems to lie flat: There was a lull ~ 9-9:45 & then Artibeus lit. & jam. hit the net together making much racket, attracting more in. Some minutes later A. cinereus hit, also vocalizing to best hell. The moon is new & past '4. On returning
