245,49. Sapucay. 11th May, 1901. A number caught 
in a hollow tree. 
“The most pugnacious of any bat that I have handled, 
extremely quick in their movements, and carry their body 
high when running. Fight fiercely with one another, 
inflicting serious wounds with their formidable teeth ; some 
were so badly cut up about the head in their frequent 
quarrels that they were useless for specimens, and eventually 
I had to put them into separate cages. One night six 
Molossus Temmincku were put in the same cage by mistake, 
and by morning they were all lying on the floor of the cage 
nearly dead ; the skin of the head was all cut away, and 
also a place on the back of each. This is the only kind I 
have met with since the month of December that have been 
pregnant. One female gave birth to one young on the night 
of May 11, 1901, and amongst them when caught was one 
of about a week old. Out of the thirty odd caught there 
were only two adult males, the rest being all females.”—

Azara’s bats, as thus far determined. All except those 
in brackets have been verified on topotypes in the Foster 
collection.
