Alcorn 1939 Myotis Myotis 1 mi. E + 2 mi. N Yerington, 4700 ft., Lyon Co., Nevada. Dec. 27. In company with Dr. Wendell Chapman, Miss Laura E. Mills and Kay Beach I went to Yerington, Nev. from Fallon via Walker River Dam. Between Schurz + Yerington I noted several prospect tunnels in the mtn. so we stopped on the highway & walked to them. Near the main tunnel a tobacco can found in a rock monument read as follows: " Amado #2 J.W. Tobert 1/4 mi. S of Schurz road, 1/2 mi from Yerington." Enterin the mine we found 50 ft. from mouth one Myotis in a dormant stage, hanging head down & draped over a rock from a crevice in the ceiling as illustrated. bat Rock This bat was 7 ft. high near the side of the top + f.t. the temperature was 55° Fahren.. where we took the bat.
