Koford Cynomys ludovicianus Sept. 23, 1955 Wind Cave N.P., S. Dakota large mound a fresh hole, 20' from top edge ind.; dry cam cut around it - 90-90 cut to 2' distance. Much cam cut (below node) at other sites - could pick up handful of cut stems - but one area of few sq. ft. or ind. not cut (5' from hole, 1/2 tall andsteller). Observed many cam holes, 4 half leaves cam green. Bola has four green leaves. In bloom as Acta commutata, Gnidia, Solidago, Chrysopris. No sycamore W. rimmy last visit see'd when ago - farthest about 150 yds. W. road, near foot of hills (on S.). Upslope area from C.L. this year is solid dry Baja. A ravine where C.L. are on slope has no Baja apparent. Baja probably barren; no better comfortable lawn slopes that would appear suitable, from standpoint slope & soil, for C.L./On opposite W. rd. a coyote dropping, fresh; their sin is not C.L. But 5 yds. E. this burn a fresh C.L. body, skin turned inside out cam bones, Old P. Grew in much as probably quick death. but bone open edges jagged not broken; bowed joint, femur (p.147). 3' from it was intestine & cecum, not stomach, spread almost intact on ground. Upon my arrival I had flushed a marsh bawle from the site - had it a coyote made kill? White bawle found at site. Meat fresh; probably kill today or yesterday.//In this W. arm burn area guilly in potsher Bola, with about 4:30-58% cam at distance 10'-15'. Nearwood, in area when presumably longer occupied, much less cam & now Bola away, bawles, //Visited N. part colony to E. of road. Here again much Baja just outside area of C.L. Characteristically peripheral bawls, surrounded by silt, grasser & weeds; than cam, rarely with andsteller, rye prominent for a short distance; then 12" tall cam leaves, 4 redstella present; then mixture Baja - Bola, Baja dominant. Some old burn area at sites 50 to 75 yds. N. into Baja area from peripheral occupied burn areas. Site resident from distance by lack Baja thus & shortness of vegetation (shorter than Baja), Grass of 8" tall cam (Bolde) seen in Baja - nearly pure Bola. Some have bawles in but not current.
