Abstract:

On July 20, 1947, while on a collecting trip, I found a colony of the intermediate lump-nosed bat (Corynorhinus farinesquii intermedius) in the attic of an abandoned cabin on Derr Island, at the mouth of the Clark Fork River, Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho. Approximately 100 of these bats were hanging from the rafters. On August 8, 1947, a female of this species with one young clinging to it was found in an abandoned mine building near Lakeview on Lake Pend Oreille. In The Recent Mammals of Idaho, Davis gives the range of this species as probably restricted to the southern part of the state. However, the above records from Bonner County indicate a more extended range in Idaho.
