of a small chamber leading off from the main portion of Indian Cave. 

 Wlien the bats were disturbed, Mohr observed that hundreds flew 

 around in the chamber and that probably only 5 percent carried 

 their young, most of the females leaving their young hanging to the 

 roof. The youngest of the bats were naked, and the oldest were 

 about 3 weeks old. Mohr estimated that less than 10 percent of the 

 bats were mature males. All the bats collected were in the russet 

 phase. The Museum series from this cave was collected ISIay 23, 1925, 

 by Prof. J. D. Ives. 



During June Mohr likewise found great numbers of these bats 

 lining the roof of Nickajack Cave. When Mohr (1932, pp. 272-273) 

 visited this cave on December 24, 1931, he found only a solitary 

 female in the russet phase. On returning again to the cave on 

 January 4, 1932, he located three males in the dusky phase. Arthur 

 H. Howell collected a large series of these bats at Nickajack Cave on 

 August 31, 1908. Under the name of Myotis velifer^ Halin (1908, 

 p. 580) listed this bat as occurring in Nickajack Cave.

MYOTIS LUCIFUGUS LUCIFUGUS (LeConte): Little Brown Bat 



Rhoads (1896, p. 203) mentions four little brown bats collected by 

 J. T. Park at Warner, Hicbnan County. Two specimens from 

 Greenbrier, Sevier County, are listed by Komarek and Komarek 

 (1938, p. 148). 



MYOTIS SODALIS Miller and Allen: Indiana Bat 



About 300 yards from the entrance of Nickajack Cave, Mohr (1932, 

 pp. 272-273) on December 24, 1931, found a colony of about 300 

 Indiana bats hanging from the ceiling of a low chamber. On the far 

 side of the stream in this cave Mohr found four additional clusters 

 of these bats, each comprising several hundred individuals. On a 

 second visit, January 4, 1932, Mohr estimated that there were 1,200 to 

 1,500 bats hibernating in this cave. The clusters contained individ- 

 uals of both sexes. Not a single specunen of this bat was located 

 when Mohr (1933, p. 51) revisited Nickajack Cave during June 1932.
