4. Bat- Location - Maitland Mine, 20 mi.w. Port Elizabeth. Family- Genus species- Serial numbers - (262, 263, 264, 265 - Aug. 21 - Aug. 26 Maitland mine, 279 - Elwanyi Estate - Ann N. Stulberg 297, 298 - Aug. 31, Maitland mine, 313 - Sept 9, Pickford farm - [illegible]) The specimens taken from the Maitland mine were not numerous compared with the thousands of the other species. They were found clinging to the cave walls in a number of places in the mine and not more than a half dozzen in any one place. These bats were more alert and readily aroused than the smaller bat. Only a few specimens could be captured as most of them took to flight before I could approach very close. I used a miners lamp on this occasion. These bats were infected with ticks and also a little spider which nested in the fur. I think the little spider fed on small insects on the body.
