Abstract

In 1960-61, Bernalillo County, New Mexico, was surveyed for bats. The purpose of this survey was to determine what kinds of bats occur in the county and to collect natural history data on these bats. Bats were obtained by cave and roost searching and by mist-netting and shooting over ponds, streams, and tanks. For all bats collected, standard museum study skins and skulls as well as alcoholic carcasses are preserved in the Museum of Southwestern Biology at the University of New Mexico.
