yotis thysanodes_, _Myotis subulatus_, _Eptesicus fuscus_, and _Plecotus townsendii_. A piece of mist net attached to an aluminum hoop-net two and one half feet in diameter was used to good advantage in capturing bats rebounding from the larger mist net, and in frightening bats into the larger net when they approached closely. An adult male (69249) was shot at 7:20 p.m. while flying six to eight feet from the ground between pinyon trees up to 20 feet high; the air temperature was 70 deg. F. A female (69251) was found seemingly exhausted on the floor in the museum at Park Headquarters in the daytime, and was immature as indicated by small size, open basicranial sutures, unworn teeth, weakly ossified zygoma, and open epiphyseal sutures of phalanges. Myotis subulatus melanorhinus (Merriam) Small-footed Myotis _Specimens examined._--Total, 8: Rock Springs, 7400 ft., 69242, 69244, 69245, 69247, 69248, August 21 to 23, 1956; Hospital, Park Headquarters, MV 7886/507, [Male], July 12, 1939; Headquarters, MV 7877/507, [Female], August 30, 1938; 4504 Denver Museum, within the Park (exact locality not recorded), R.L. Landberg, July 27, 1931. The specimens from Rock Springs are two adult males that were shot, and one adult male, one adult female, and one young male that were netted at the place described in the account of _Myotis evotis_. The three adult males are near the average color of _M. s. melanorhinus_, and distinctly darker than the _Myotis californicus_ from the Mesa Verde. In the female the pelage is paler and brighter, and the ears and membranes are darker, than in _M. californicus_.
