D.O.Shoney 1977 104 12 Dec, cold. was violently ill on the way back - this lasted 'till early morning. I wasn't feeling too hot myself & couldn't eat the dinner I ordered. To sleep ~ 11 p.m. Catch: 1 Hybrycterus underwoodi, 3 Anoura, 4 A. jamaicensis 3 carollia (2 banded ones released), 11 Bats. Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chis. to Rio Laja Vuelta, Chis. 13 Dec Up at nine and breakfast at the hotel. Then drove up to Rio Laja on the Villa Hermosa road. The river is still high. Processed last night's catch & then decided that the area was not good enough for bats. Drove back to Tuxtla & stopped at a stream, 1.2 Km SE Junet. Huys 195 & 190 (on 195), the riparian vegetation so not particularly wide, but has a large number of fig trees, many open white flowers & banana groves. Set 6 nets upstream from the bridge all across the stream. Nets up by 6 & dark later. Nets nearest the bridge immediately caught 10-15 P.t. parvelli'. Anoura also common early on, usually caught in groups in the same part of the net. Lasioptus taken ~ 8 at the uppermost net, as was Chiroderma salvini (illegible) about an hour later. The end nets did best as well as an 18' net at a narrowing in the stream just behind a huge boulder - appeared that bats came over boulder then dropped towards a pool, hithing
