Roford Cynomys ludovicianus August 15/1955 NE Larimer Co, G10. To 6' apart. Otherwise, estimated about 4/100 veg. hits. A few old Bgs clumpy, barely alive (due c.l. or stock?), leaves 1/2" long. Asm has no seed stolka (due c.l.? ). Bgs to 5%, some sites; more in small swales, same Bdea. Oputta dead in Curista area. // It is evident that mounds tend to be on higher ground rendering the swale Sometimes 5' ndo. in nearly a row, 20+ yds. apart. // When Bka think in draw but not close to burrows; little cut. // Only one cornet or dropping found (saved, loss probable c.l. hair). Skulls of 3 long death found on one mound. One dead Lagurus found. Apparently Lodge Dog Bob had to rabbit (kyrill?) hair at entrance. But very little sign recent predation. // Do predator have more impact? art influence when population is low? If lodger takes equal no. dogs/lynx, yes, but probably success of carnivore dips on density. // In Curista area, E slope 5-10 %, tough stop loop density. For 100: dead Bgs 3, Asm 3, Curista 1; for another 100, dead Bgs 1, Asm 4, Curista 5 (auntury counts hits), pinon. forb 1. Total hits 9/100 (for 200 loops). // On SE slope, 5-10 %, omitting swales: Curst. 2 Oputt. 1 strip. 3 1 Chrypth. 1 1 Asm 1 1 1 Vitik 1 1 Cuphalia 4 5 10 = 19 (6½/100). Several new burrows; shol xar, at bases pedestaled atruely shrubs. Much more digging than early this summer, it seems to me. Near E W fence in S. central part colony, where greenest, flattest, between 2 swales, saw 14 in 1 acre (5 on one mound). Upslope in colony,
