Notes on the Natural History of the Bat Corynorhinus Rafinesquii in California
Dalquest WW. 1947. Notes on the Natural History of the Bat Corynorhinus Rafinesquii in California. Journal of Mammalogy. 28(1):17-30
Excerpt from the Introduction: "Corynorhinus rafinesquii, sometimes termed 'lumped-nosed bat' or 'big-eared bat', ranges over much of North America. Though not common, it is widespread in California. Specimens from the state have accumulated at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology and at present include 116 study skins in addition to a number of skeletons and individuals in alcohol. Corynorhinus is a bat of rather striking appearance. Perhaps for this reason, the field notes concerning some of the older specimens are more complete than is usual with most bats. Although a planned life-history study was not made, a considerable amount of new information concerning this species has been gathered."
