AB - A female Tadarida brasiliensis mexicana, having a double thumb on each wing, was collected at Davis Blowout Cave in Blanco County, Texas, on August 21, 1957. This animal was a young of the year, determined by lack of epiphyseal closure. The double-thumb arrangement of the right wing was easily noted since the claws and two millimeters of the terminal portion of the thumbs were completely separate, the remainder of the thumbs being joined by loose skin to their bases. On the left wing the bones of the bi-thumb were in close association, but proved to be separate upon dissection. A tight skin covering enclosed the bones their entire length, leaving only the two claws distinct. This free-tailed bat (1712 in preserved collection) was obtained during studies of the ecological association of Tadarida brasiliensis mexicana to rabies. The project is supported by the National Institutes of Health. Author notes Contribution No. 260 from Dept. of Zoology, Oklahoma State Univ. 1958 American Society of Mammalogists
