different from surroundings). Unoccupied part show thick Bgrs, especially mid-
way between centers activity. // Word A: some Vbr + Dpa still green,
& some Asm. (bait.), & much Asm. Potentilla penn. also green, Bda
patches partly green, but solid, recent, apparently not yet had
used by C.L. Adjacent to Bda patches some Echelodon & Cristida.
// Ad. #156 taken 9:05 a.m. in quadrant Ng (King's map); no extra factor
out of (King's mark?). // Much Ephedraea grows in Word A still.
9:15 a.m., took adult #157 in L.H. // Word B, I saw 2 at after
W. end, & one at E. end in evening. Decrease here. One burrow suddenly
plugged here by C.L. (to shut off light?). // At a site on Word C when
group joins, often seen June & July, no activity within 50 yds. now.
// Nobal Dam town. Colonized 5/A on Bda areas; 10-12/A. upper
from there when slope steepens & veg. mostly as folia (Ephedraea,
Chev. lept.) & more Asm. None seen in area for 75 yds. receive be-
hind sign. In part of area Cristida prominent in yaw downslope
from Bda zone. New sign, more Asm. prominent; ground low,
flatter. No digging for food or badger dug holes seen. One
area town on slope, 50 yds. drain, has Dpa dominant (= more de-
midied? grows in around wallows). // Lower Sanctuary town. 5
freshly badgered burrows one site. 5. slope near bottom
mainly solid with dry Dpa. To 10/A. density. On N. slope,
C.L. mainly on area where Dpa dominant. Then upslope Bgrt
Asm dominate, then Asm dominates (Bda, Bgrt mixt). Some
Stipa canata & thin Androp. steep higher yet on slope (grade 10%).
// Sylvan town. Area C.L. has brown Dyp. popping red-brown &
solid. Seven C.L. seen, a few at least being juicy. Area of used
burrows 120 yds. long & 75 wide - about same as in summer. Most
