Cynomys ludovicianus
September 21, 1955 Scotts Bluff, Nebraska.
Headed out, & conspicuous at a distance. I) Bemisquam habit Bgr),
single-stalk habit Arm, & both prototolmen in faler an old meadow
are very apparent (no prototole am another). II) 1941 invasion
area near headquarters required crossing of gully 50yds. wide, 15' deep,
but now vegetated most of distance. In this area much Sba near
old burnours, & Aristida. Bgr'd area characterized by Stipa &
Arm, the Bgr is 50% compass, some sites. Burnour sites
conspicuous with Sba, white Malestis, Art. frig., Lautierieja,
Lygodonia, Many Thonanyz wounds. I think it is probable
So that stands Arm or Stipa canata as seen here could prevent establishment of migrating C.L. I believe that a stem
density that makes it impossible for C.L. to walk without
striking stems will prevent such establishment (but can walk
into afforable condition adjacent). Stems must be seed "high,
of course, as C.L. walks are closely grazed dense soon.
September 22, 1955 Wind Cave Not' Park, S.Dak.
Rain. Grass dry appearing now. Red-brown Androp. scop.,
stands out strongly on slope & hilllochus, but flattens over
mostly Bromus in dense stand 1' tall. II) Esta Suter says
he marked limits some trains with stakes years ago. Dogs that
went out & dig new holes always old ones, & that later they came
back in 4 abandoned autumn burnours. II) Visited Basin Flat colony
in mid-afternoon. In arm to W. of road I counted 13. Two of
these separate from rest (along foot of hills), 150yds. N. of hills +
50 yds. W. of road. These two at a round atop a large old
mound 2' thick & 40' across. Bigird, covered mostly with
Bda, but also Bgr, Arm, Aristida, & 5% weeds. Alongside
