Among the female western red bats in the Museum of Vertebrate 
Zoology are five which contained embryos, and three captured with 
young. Of the former, four contained three embryos each and the 
fifth, two. Each of the three mothers had three young clinging to 
-her. Two of the mothers were found in adjoining peach trees at 
Fresno, June 23, 1915. Of these two, no. 21907, when discovered, 
had three small naked young clinging to her, all males; the young 
clinging to no. 21911 were also all males, but were twice the size of 
the individuals in the other family. The third mother, no. 24179, 
was found at Stockton, on July 12, 1915. The bat was clinging to 
the trunk of a tree one and one-half feet above the ground, with 
her young attached. Her weight was 12.4 grams and the weights 
of her three half-grown young were: two males, 6.5 each; one female, 
6.4; total, 19.4 grams. (See pl. 18, fig. 18.)
