Wind Cave N.P., S. Dak.
at another spot Schondardus; then Aristida; then Andropogon.
Arist. field, mica less surrounds Ward D in variable belt. Main
false present: Dys. pop. (40% - more in E 1/3); Euphalia (geyri)
(30% - more in W 1/3), Verb. bract. (est. 25%); Das Aphandrea,
Sol. trifl. locally common. One burrow near E. end Ward G (new
pipe marker) recently dug out, apparently by badger. Much Marsilium
(?) in a clump cut to 8" high (taller in June; now no cover for
Alyssum). A. S.m. starts about 30' short of E. edge. At E. edge
ground drops in draw; Androp. scop. & Baet. centip. dominate
in draw, 4 no C.L. there. // E. side Ward D, salary to edge: cut a fly,
then Bickler (some A. S.m. mixed); then (steeper, damp) Carex/Koelreuter
Andropogon (pines close downhill). // On bench 10' above level stream
led & between its Ward D (E. of), some old burrows, many vigorous
falses in mounds, in area nearly gone A. S.m., about 12" tall,
seed stalks to 18". One lodged, apparently a few weeks ago.
Apparently unfavorable there or no present occupants, but saw
70 yds. S. on same bench (seen there in June too). An especially
large mound on bench (18" deep, 8' diam.) made of gravel &
course sand (1-2 mm. diam.); large because burrow cows in?
To 10 yds. distant another burrow, about 1/3 of Steff boldened
out; about 1' tall, cuttings now dry. // On S. part Ward D, near
bottom, near road, 3 holes lodged (in past) within distance 50 yds.
radial. // In area farthest S., where small openings in till Baja, I
saw 1 jive. // Around some burrows Baja absent in area only about
6 yds. diam.; 4 much A.s.m. in (fairly seen Asm. americanus when
Baja opened by C.L.). Some paths for 5 yds. thru Baja 18"
tall, from opening to opening. // Ward A, I watched an stripping
