Hoffmeister 1939 Bats Oct.11 Berkeley Alameda Co., Calif. At 5:50 p.m., at the corner of Dana Street and Channing Way, I counted 112 bats fly out from 2 small openings about 5 feet apart on the southwest end of the Berkeley Presbyterian Church during a 5 minute period. These openings are below a 1-foot band of ornamental metal on the church, about 25± feet above the Dana Street sidewalk. As I approached just prior to 5:50 p.m., 20+ more flew out. Also, from openings higher up on the main steeple (a different part that the above described locality) apparently as many flew out as I had counted at this lower 2 spots. However, I was unable to effectively count the bats from both regions as they left. I first saw bats flying around the church here on September 10, 1939 at about 8:30 p.m. They were flying around large floodlights that had been installed on nearby telephone poles to illuminate the church. I saw them again Oct.7, 1939 at 6:10p.m. when they were flying around at dusk. Oct.10, 1939 I saw them at 5:55 p.m., as well as again tonight when I located 2 of the places that they came out. I have gone by this church twice
