Koford Journal August 13, 1954 Jackson, Wyoming (rods especially) by control agencies. The project should involve the plains and not just one species. Wish that would tie in with that of Helmut Buedner (now making a survey of bighorn population) would be best. (Osborn does not like to kill anything. He hates sheep, likes bats.) The work would have to be written up in appetizing form that could be easily understood by N.Y. Zool. Soc. members. (Mrs. Osborn energetic and will preserver for her estimated age. Mr. an ardent fisherman. We fish in the Snake this of evening. They have a cabin near Moore (on Snake R.). Tomorrow we will go to the bird station at Moran.) I was put up in a log cabin at Moore. Partly overcast, windy, a cloude over there today. Fished with Osborn in evening. We took 5 cutthroat on flies, largest 17" (by Osborn). Full moon. Dinner & much talk with Osborn. He is very likable, friendly, & unassuming for a wealthy & rather famous man. Osborn had a copy of a letter that was sent by W.C. Barnst (500 Odin St., Douglas, Wyo.) (recently photograph- ing for Disney film I believe) to Richard Pough (Amer. Muse.) regarding prairie dogs in Weird Cove National Park, South Dakota (Black Hills). Apparently prairie dogs were being poisoned, a going to be, in the parks. Barnst also said the thought was that Cynopsis was eating veg- etation that should be utilized by the antelope & bison. Barnst said in most areas of park the vegetation was best on areas where there were prairie dogs. Five
