that we collected at Paracou, one was taken in a groundlevel mistnet and the remaining seven from a single roost in a hollow tree; both capture sites were in well­drained primary forest. The roost tree, about 1 m in diameter at breast height, had a single entrance hole (about 20 cm in diameter) 1 m above the ground. A mistnet enclosure around the base of the tree captured seven of the eight bats that emerged (between 18:45 and 19:15 hours) on 19 August 1991; the captured animals consisted of four adult males and three adult females. In addition, the mistnet enclosure captured two
