Hoffmeister 1939 Mystis July 25 1 mi. N Burbank, 350 ft., Walla Walla Co., Wash. This morning the party examined the Woods Dairy barn, on the ranch where we are camped for bats. Altogether we got 6 Mystis. These specimens were between the roof and a center beam supporting the roof, in a crack so small that in most cases it was impossible to extract the bats from the side but was necessary to use a crowbar to slightly raise the roof to get them out. While doing this 3 got out and flew around the loft of the barn but were knocked down by the members of the party. All the bats were taken from under the roof and beam or else they flew out originally from here within 3 or 4 feet distance of an outside loft window.
