Roford 29 Cynomys ludovicianus January 28, 1955 Mr. Loveland, Larmer, Co., Colo. Searched for a town of which N. Miner told me, about 1 mi. NW of Boederles Lake. Found large Cynomys (?) burrows but no C.L. Loose fine sifted dark soil there. Reached Lanny Jordan ranch in Dec. 31, 6 mi. SW of Loveland, about noon. Jordan, about 60, did not like C.L., bower, or coyotes. He still had two lumber C.L., the he had parisons them over as Miner had also. He said the C.L. were getting into his ploughed fields now. He had son who lived near school at county limits to S.; many C.L. thus, he said. People from town came out to shoot C.L. He readily gave me permission to shoot too. I visited but one group— about ¼ mile W. of his home; probably a SW ¼ of Sec. 31. Map: [illegible] To N., a ploughed field, appear out old burrows near S. edge (possibly other rodent burrows dug out by lodgers or rabbits). One field to S.W. of house— another to S. of actinii part. [illegible] colony were ploughed but dry. There had apparent C.L. burrows but none appeared typical—several had been bored out by lodgers; others probably opened and kept there by Sylvilagus. Holes 50yds. apart in loose ploughed ground. Near holes some shallow diggings as of C.L. looking for food. Probably much of blame of C.L. for burrowing in ploughed fields should go to rabbits who open up burrows—check this. Do C.L. open
