mostly in mid-grass (Arm 1/2' tall crestedella) & Pigs, weeks <570.
Schedenmerker on some reds, & some after near present C.L. C.L. in
two areas 40 yds. apart. On these areas Pigs turflide, but can

food to C.L., at least 5 apparently jims. These fed vigorously, after
scratching with forepaws several alternate sticks, then pecking up
in pairs a tooth & eating while settling up. Eaten material appeared dry.
At site I found many digging 1/2" deep, & tops of 1/8" deep, chewed off
root fibre (some apparently Epharoleea, saved roots; little
Epharoleea present in leaf form). Occasional stunted Chervopodum
(lepts.?) green, but in good green food now (critical now?). Picked
up skull of jin.(appear, did this summer). No carnivore sign noted.
Area #2 (to SE of #1) had 7 days, at least one adult appearing,
Area #2 about 50 x 50 yds., area 1 about 100' X 100'; the areas gross
generally short Bystery. Some are mounds & burrows outside
areas and between these spots for oddballs many yards. // Viewed site
of dead Lawson town. Conspicuous black dead Slaq at linea on
and close to mounds & sometimes areas between. Arm to 2' tall
between burrows, after borders edge mound area of many
abandoned burrows in grassland (20 C.L. from afar?). Burrows
comparatively close together here & on relatively steep slope.
// 1953 (click) was year of especially good grass line; coincided
with disappearance of C.L. in 1954? // Beef Corral town thinning.
A cattle & prairie dog skeleton had been put in now Lawn. Potentianate in
