Hoffmeister 1939 Bats Oct. 12 (cont.) Berkeley, Calif. the same holes Do saw 112 last night. I think this is explainable by the fact that they left earlii tonite as by the time the 31st had departed, there was very little squeaking at these holes which always seems to accompany their departure. However, from the locality higher up on the steeple, I heard increasing squeaks but saw no bats until 5:58 P.M. when they began to come out so thickly that I was totally unable to count them but can guess about 50 + came out in about 2 minutes ; until 6:08 P.M. After this they began to come out more slowly. At this spot, on the steeple, they seem to drop out from beneath a board & between 5 + 10 will come down & out all at once and then break up & fly away. 8:30 P.M. From at a distance, saw no bats flying around the street light in front of the Cross-Rh.-saw or heard no bats Oct. 13 8:10 A.M. Saw no bats but heard quite a bit of squeaking from the colony higher up on the steeple. 5:40 P.M. Arrived at the church but saw no bats flying around as yet but heard very loud squeaking from the locality high
