Cynomyx ludovicianus
July 16, 1955
Devil's Tower, 4yo,
in bands extending about 6' out. When brows 8" tall, there much
trampled down by dogs near burn areas, & poorly defined new-
ways thru it.
July 17, 1955 Mod. S.E. wind, slob at 7:30 a.m., Counted dogs
in census area #1. Total all = 48, from 20 to 28 being jives
This result of several counts. At 8:30 a.m., 21 grown + 18 jives, so
apparently some jives went in. This in 2/4 A. leading road (see
map). In census area #2, 24 counted 8 a.m., about 3/4 being jiving
at 8:45 a.m. In area where much Aristida longisetis in S.W.
part colony, 14 counted in about 8 A., 2-8 in about 1/2 A. Aristida
not solid, but with green areas of forbs. When little but Aristi-
da, about 1 dog / A. // On colony to S. of road I saw a few
moggin, 4-3 Cattail leucostus. One C.-13/1. deer seen in NW
part colony, N. of road. // On slope to NW of road opposite census
area #1, I counted 15 ant at 8:30 a.m., but probably not present.
at head of this area much Aristida, a swale having less bad
uplope
C.L. to where slope steepened much. Most of census area #1, for
spoor 150 yds. in N.W.-S.E. direction, crossing logging road was
mostly Buchloe dactyloides. Hedeoma hispida & Plantago spinulosa
grew up than this. Of the Cattail, much apparently pulled up
including short root, & base gone or some (cut root?). // I
saw 3 clearly eating green heads of Bromus tectorum; this grass
also much cut. This other clearly eating Hedeoma hispida, appear-
ently taking seeds from cut-off plant stalks held in paws. // In
the census plot #2, Aristida dominant, in N. 1/4. In next Plantago
spinulosa dominant, the Bromus tectorum tallest by far. Also present
is Astragalus, Artemisia grophelotis, Sphaeralcea coccinea, 7 n.tart.
