L. 24. P. 16. was going on in Spain. In the two specimens ♂ & ♀ of Phelogen maculatus both adult, I note that the epipubis bones of the ♀ are as large again as they in the ♂. Accepting Pteropus and Emballonura, every bat so far taken in this camp has been either picked out or smoked but I follow trees. In their slightly dry-type forest probably 20% of the hardwoods have holes running up the center of the trunk, and quite a large number have round open knot-holes leading to the central shaft used by such mammals as Armory, Melonye and Distochurus. The bats are generally found in trees with much larger openings near the bottom. Wed. Oct. 28. Went “jacking” up the canoe ridge. Shot the small Pteropus I Davidson feeding on the fruit of a Rubiaceae tree about 10 feet from ground; the tailed Microglonys of the coast which was resting at the tip of a frondless palm found. Both bats’ eyes shine well, the former large, the other bright glowing yellow. Also collected things on a vine (thick stand) about 8 feet up; white-breasted Melonye on the nest of a tree; and two Dacypus. The eyes of all shine very like those of things only one slightly brighter. Besides the above I shot two frogs + a gecko. The moon is now 3/4 towards full. One of our old rafts were by on the current this a m. Looks as if they’d had high water at Oroville. My tent-fly is being raided by small black ants. They’ve been getting steadily worse for days despite my efforts to get rid of them. Today the floor is just alive with them. Brown went up river to the heart Fairfax Island. He shot two arboreal Melonye (large) two miles above camp on this side of river. Also he put a large colony of fruit bats (several thousands) on the lower end of the island he visited. The one Melonye was in a Pandanus; the other in a mat of leaves + branches in a tree. Very bright tide to day.
