Arrived at the bofctaa, I found, a high cave leading downward at the 
angle of the hill slope which ms not great. Only a fm feet from the 
entrance I found hi# up about ray head on the roof a bunch of 26 or SO 
very large yell wish-white bats which immediately began to fly. 1 
threw a stick 1 had at the bunch and knocked one down which was the 
only one I could get of the species, and was different from scything 
before taken. I penetrated for about 160 yards when the pine torches

they were flying out. Then I gob out, I was very much provoked to find

tho horses eating tortillas and chile. 1 was afterward told by the 
osacr of the hacienda in Talandsiago that the saw is very deep and that 
200 yards or so fraa tho entrance is a stream of water which flows on 
the bottom* Sere, he said, tho cave was much lower and bate more plenti- 
ful.
