PLATE 16 
Fig. 7. Hoary bat (Nycteris cinerea, no. 21439, 9), secured at Fresno. 
Photographed under chloroform. Ventral view, X 0.43, showing tail curved 
over body ventrally. Note the furring of the dorsal surface of the inter- 
femoral membrane and of the anterior portion of the ventral surface of the 
wing membranes. 
Fig. 8. Hoary bat (Nycteris cinerea, no. 20778, J) front view, X 1.20. This 
figure shows the form of the ear and tragus, and the distribution of hair 
on the ventral surface of the ear; also the tumid-rimmed and widely separated 
nostrils. 
Fig. 9. Spotted bat (Huderma maculatum, no. 1196), found dead in overflow 
from railway water tank, at Mecca, Riverside County. Photograph from dried 
skin. Dorsal view, X 0.41. Note the large ears, the parchment-like wing and 
tail membranes devoid of fur, and the striking color-pattern of the back. This 
coloration reminds the observer of the ‘‘death’s head’’ pattern displayed upon 
the thorax in certain moths.
