13 Aug, (cat) least. One, that I think is a male, has
more denoun ventrally and this (unlike the
other two) meets in the urogenital region.
This bat (Dos- 1013) appears smaller than the
two ff. They vocalized alst in the bag,
a very metallic chirping, like an insecty
Myotis - sound quite tinny. One got loose in
the car latter and had a soft, silent, butterfly-
type flight.
After many pictures of these fine animals,
we continued uphill until the road levelled
again in a much cut-over area with the
town of Agua Buena (21.6 Km N. Villa Neily).
It had taken us 3 hrs to get here, counting out
some time for batting. We were both quite
exhausted from the mineralde road (a car
of good clearance and sturdy suspension would
have had a better go - we had a bent run &
flet & had to change this). Decided not to go
on up to San Vito, as we had seen no evidence
of notable habitat. This region is being
rapidly settled and developed, and little
remains now of what must have been exquisite
habitat (note - the area is moist - moss, fernland-
and some rocky areas of pasture & roadcuts would
be worth examining for harps). Took us 1 3/4 hrs.
to return to Villa Neily, stopping to look
