Koford Cynomys ludovicianus July 25, 1955 Wind Cave N.P., Custer Co., S. Dak. at least. June raunts better or gives. more readily distinguished. In area X, 2 ad. seen; area Y, 1 grown seen; area Z, 4 dogs seen (these not not all out, mins. routes). // In general, when slope steepens near edges dog colonies in split fail, ground rocky with scattered boulders seed inches diameter, 4 Ambrosia pogon scoparia dominant grass (Curvally Cory, art. fig., & other plants, in open stand). // Mapped vegetation, especially edge of Brome, or ward A & parts of extension to S.W. // In area Y, 150 yds. S. of edge 1948 Ward A, 4 prominent mids. in arc, ave. 6 yds. apart (close in isolated inward areas? too much food? also close in area X). This area essentially without Baja for 30'X70' space, but Baja thin some adjacent spots, & feeding area probably mostly in their areas. Baja thin, not equally around burn area. Nearly nothing of Baja in low Opuntia patch. Much Alfalfa in adjoining Cory-Baja area 5 yds. W. of edge area Y (see map way.). Odd dune areas also in that clearing. In area Y, Asm. present in left side. 1/2 ft. apart, to 8" tall (no body yet). More Asm. then lay far (3X?) then in Baja stand. One gram C.L. seen here today, closest others 70 yds. to N. // Area X has 2-2 dune areas in 100'X100' area (see map way.). Debated plants: Baja 'tall remain, but most stripped of leaves & Amsonthus cilicifolius + Blotidae grow side by side at edge mound. Many Cynogonium plants, but few with flower stalks (none first yr.? ). Present in clear- ing: Parn. ten., Sphaen. coc., Sol. trifl., Hed. ship., Potentilla, Euphrasia, Art. frig., Dya. pap., Bego, Asm., Verb. boatata, Schedonardus, Ratibida, & others (see transit data). // Found near site Krieg blind a sunken metal trap, now partly covered with soil, & on soil grew: Akebia, pa., Verb. boat., Depo. pap., Am. blot., Solan. trifl. - same place all plants found by C.L. activity too, apparently. Principal plant on mids. here is Am. Blotidae, which spreads low & wide (1" diam.) on wounds. // Badger thought -
