ould be seen in inter-buttress spaces
of large trees on other parts of the Island. These bats were more alert
during the daylight hours than were most other kinds of bats and could
be approached and captured only with considerable difficulty. From the
various colonies 13 females and 3 males were banded.
Noctilio leporinus mexicanus Goldman.--Seen in Wheeler Estuary by Enders
(_op. cit._:416) who uses the subspecific name _N. l. leporinus_.
Goodwin (Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 79:121, May 29, 1942) later used
the subspecific name _N. l. mexicanus_ for this species in Panama.
Micronycteris megalotis microtis Miller.--Enders (_op. cit._:417)
obtained specimens of this species from the underside of a fallen log
and in a hollow tree at marker No. 23 on the Pearson Trail.
Phyllostomus discolor discolor Wagner.--Taken from a hollow tree by
Enders (_op. cit._:417).
Glossophaga soricina leachii (Gray).--No. 45073, April 5.
Carollia perspicillata azteca Saussure.--No. 400 of Jackson taken at
Allee Creek and Barbara Lathrop Trail and No. 52456 (410 of Jackson) at
Termite Cemetery. These two nonpregnant females weighed 14.7 and 17.7
grams, respectively. Two ([Male] and [Female]), caught at Termite
Cemetery were banded and released.
Carollia castanea H. Allen.--Males, 45080 and 45081, weighed 11.8 and
11.5 grams; at 9:30 P.M., on April 6, on Barbara Lathrop Trail.
Vampyrops helleri Peters.--Male, No. 45095, in net on April 4; weighed
15 grams.
Vampyressa minuta Miller.--Lactating female, No. 45094, weighed 10.0
grams. At 10:30 A.M. at the outer end of the Armour Trail, Young and
Hall had barely paused to listen to animal sounds when they saw this bat
alight on a breast-high twig of a bush beneath large trees in the gloom
of the forest. Possibly it had been disturbed when the zoologists a few
seconds before had pushed aside bushes that partly obstructed the trail.
Vampyressa nymphaea Thomas.--Nonpregnant female No. 52455 (403 of
Jackson) weighed 10.3 grams and was taken at the Termite Cemetery on May
8. So far as we know, this specimen provides the first record of
occurrence in North America of this species which previously had been
recorded only from South America.
Chiroderma isthmica Miller.--Male No. 45096, April 2; weighed 13.7
grams.
Vampyrodes major G.M. Allen.--Male No. 45085, weighed 33 grams. It and
the one _Chiroderma isthmica_ on the morning of April 2 constituted the
total catch found in the net s
