Koford Cynomy s ludovicianus January 26,1955 NE harimer 6., Colo. colonies. Holston family leased ranch in the "Roundside" area (to E., Mr. Boydldn Creek, near Rudy Schermeran). He said that C.l. not then remembered to be a pest. But many (75±) coyotes trapped there (he had sheep) by netrappcr. Holston said some coyotes (few) + few eagles in this (Red Top) area. Many eagles on Cox's Eagle Rock rancher (E. of Pochipat) Holston said. L.H. said he found some coyotes for rabbit control + liked to see + hear them. Mr. Stahl, who had land in Sec. 16, did not poison C.l., but liked to shoot them. L.H. look- ed on this as locks cooperation. It is general feeling here that concentrations of C.l. are nuclei for spread to other rancher (probably correct). || When the Laramie road (287) passes entrance to road W. to Holligan Beaver, C.l. burrows numerous on W. side of road (any on E. side ?) L.H. says no, altho he has seen them feeding along W. side road). There C.l. in NW corner Sec. 31 (CTON, R70W) + adjacent area to W.+NW according to Porter Miner. I saw burrows below a rock & earth dam (rowtis in rows); too cold to search further - no burrows near road appeared to be active. This was an F. A. Lewis land, now leased by a new man this area. 1 all 3 C.l. shot were gg with slight tooth wear, much fat, good coat showing no molt line, no repro. activity, stomachs + cecum well- filled. More gg out than 0789 ? Immune, was said shot? colonies. One flea collected from one. No parasites ecto. or endo., found.
