A SECOND RECORD OF THE SPOTTED 
BAT (HUDERMA MACULATUM) FOR 
CALIFORNIA. 
BY 
JOSEPH GRINNELL. 
(Contribution from the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology of the University of California.) 
On the evening of April 24, 1908, I was invited by Mr. G. 
W. Urie, station-agent at Mecea, Riverside County, California, 
to come to his house to see his collection of birds, insects, and 
other curios. Among these I was surprised to see a specimen of 
Euderma maculatum. This Mr. Urie kindly consented to part 
with, and it is now no. 1196 of the mammal department in the 
Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. The specimen had been secured 
the previous fall (1907), on or close to October 1. It was dead 
when found, lying in a puddle, the overflow from the big rail- 
way water tank at Mecca. The bat was skinned out by Mr. 
Urie, stuffed with cotton, and dried with wings outstretched, in 
which condition it still is. Only the anterior part of the skull 
was preserved and this was left in the skin of the head. It 
has not been removed. It is the dorsal surface of the bat just 
as originally prepared that is shown in the accompanying pho- 
tographie plate (pl. 30). 
The coloration and all other characters, as far as shown by 
this specimen, are precisely as described of the type by Dr. J. 
A. Allen. (See Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., III, February, 1891, 
pp. 195-198.)
