Alcorn Dec. 1939. Bats December 30, 1939. Washoe Co., Nevada. Today in company with Dr. Lundell Chapman & Vernon Mills I inspected two old mines about 3 to 6 mi. NE of Reno, Nev. in search of bats. None were found. The mines were both over 100 ft. in length. (3) Three mine tunnels over 100 ft. in length along the Truckee River Canyon about 4 to 8 miles E of Reno, Washoe Co., Nev. were also inspected for bats. None were found. Although the tunnels appeared to be suitable for bats, and it appeared that few people visited the mines, no bats or evidence of them was found.
