information.
4 ?'s all with embryos. 1 each.
All embryos were well developed
and after being pulled out full
length and measured were
52 mm, 55 mm and 60 mm long. One
embryo not measured. 2 dead.
I noted that these bats occupied
crevices just inside the cave
instead of going back into
the cave further away from
the light.
Fallon, 4000 ft., Churchill Co., Nevada.
August
1939
walking down the street (Main)
in Fallon I heard bats. I saw
crevices just under the window
sill so got a ladder & climbed
15 feet up where I could see
into where about 10 or 20 Mexican
free tail bats were found. Four
window sill cracks contained
from 10 to 15 bats. They were
on the Southern exposure and
looking into the crevice I could
see the bats plainly. They could
only get 8 to 10 inches into the away
from the outer surface of the building.
