Corynorhinus rafinesquie
10 mi. SE Fallon, 3900 ft., Churchill Co., Nevada.
Aug. 15
1938
In a cave in the foothills about
50 of these big eared bats were
seen hanging from the ceiling.
Three or four were captured
for specimens. JRH Nos 178a, 179a.
These bats have been found
in this same cave for the
past two years. It is interesting
to note that they were always
found in the far end of the
cave where it is very
dark as the cave makes a
sharp right angle turn to the
left which shuts out all light.
1 mi. S.W. Pyramid Lake, 3950 ft., Washoe Co., Nev.
April 21
1939
As I was standing under
a tree today mid P.M.
a large bat (JRH 702 71)
was seen flying just above the
sagebrush. I shot it. Where
it came from I do not know.
Possibly it flew from a tree
or from a pile of cliffs or rocks
over by, " mile to the north.

Dec. 24,
1939
This same cave as visited on Aug. 15, 1938 was
[illegible]
inspected today for bats. Temperature at 70° F.
inside cave. Possibly this is to warm for bats to hibernate.
