Jalisco.

1912. _Pteronotus davyi fulvus_, Miller, Bull. U. S. Nat.

Mus., 79:33, December 31.

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Known only from the two

localities reported in this paper.

According to field-notes of Schaldach _et al._, individuals of _P. d.

fulvus_ appear when it is almost dark (about 6:30 p. m. in December and

January), ordinarily fly about 25 feet above the ground, but

occasionally are seen at heights of between 60 and 70 feet (near tops

of the largest cypress trees). Most bats flew in a straight line for 10

to 20 yards, then zig-zagged, and repeated the same movements. All

specimens examined are in the brown color phase.

_Records of occurrence._--Specimens examined, 11: Rancho

Santa Rosa, 25 km. N, 13 km. W Cd. Victoria, 260 m., 10;

Rancho Pano Ayuctle, 6 mi. N Gomez Farias, 300 ft., 1.
