Nr. Ft. Collins, Colo.
Brief visit to Spring Canyon Dam colony in forenoon. Saw 10 out: 1 near #24,
1 between #49, 1 mm. 16, 150' to W. of it, 2 near #11, 150 yds. S. of these,
1 mm. some 50 yds. W. of #11, 1 mm. #19, 1 mm. #35.
April 29, 1955.
At 9 a.m. took 2 from traps in wheat field in Fossil Creek, Sec. 4 (S.
side of colony). These both small appearing + heliotes walking. Left 7 steel
traps between burrows in field there. Mr. Stich told me that area
inoculated after planting last (?) year. The wheatfield on N. side col-
ony, where most C.L., planted last fall & "blowed out." No C.L.
in field 2 years ago, Stich said. He hoped that Mr. Brassey,
Lesser, would have the C.L., possessed. Stich said sometime tests
dropped into C.L. hole & broke a tire. At 9 a.m. at least 8 on the
S. slope in wheatfield at N. side colony, I saw burrows start-
ed along streambed (not sure C.L.) going in from rock banks
& under sod layer. Saw one C.L. atop slope (20%?) to S. of
5. wheatfield, at yellow earth mound (no second slope?). Many
lines 4-5' long when ditched between ridges (3-4" high) have
wheat growing. || At CPER overcast & windy 11 a.m., so far
out. One yd. 40 yds. E. of E. fence allowed me to approach to
distance only 50' before dropping down burrow ridge (Cares)
(= within wheatgrass) new-growing green in some low spots, Bouteloua graminea
what green, some apparent Muhlenbergia green, Coguelliis (subcut-
land, alcyon line) with heads, Eupatorium cuneatum but not flow-
ering yet. Many new leaves on closely trapped shrubs. Saw
2 Staphylinid beetles 3/4" long walking over ground away from
burrows. Took no Phryganea or colony. Some well drained
sections have almost no greenery in grass, dominantly clump
