PLATE 17 
Fig. 10. Hoary bat (Nycteris cinerea, no. 20778, g), photographed under 
chloroform. Dorsal view, X 0.90. Note the large stout feet and thumbs; the 
thickly furred back and interfemoral membrane; the three small patches of 
light-colored fur, one on the antebrachial membrane at the proximal fifth of 
the forearm, one at the base of the fifth metacarpal, and one at the base of 
the thumb; and the long narrow wings, the third metacarpal far exceeding 
the fifth in length. The unusual length of the tail in this genus is not shown, 
as in this photograph the tip is turned under the body (see pl. 16, fig. 7). 
Fig. 11. Pacific pallid bat (Antrozous pacificus, no. 9440, 3), secured at 
Fresno. Photographed under chloroform. Dorsal view, X 0.50. The ears 
of this bat are separate and wide apart at base, and extend considerably 
beyond the tip of the snout. The feet are stout and more than half the length 
of the relatively short tibiae. The wings are short and broad, the third 
metacarpal being but slightly longer than the fifth. 
Fig. 12. Lump-nosed bat (Corynorhinus rafinesquit pallescens), X 0.87. The 
bat is asleep, hanging head downward, and is supported mainly by the claws, 
which are thrust into a crevice in the angle where two boards join. The 
thumbs are turned back under the wings, and their claws thus aid in support- 
ing the weight of the animal. One of the tragi shows clearly, as do the two 
glandular swellings on the snout.
