Roford 292 Cynomyx lodonicanus September 30, 1955 Wind Cave Nat'l Park, S. Dak. Dpa + Vlr are dry. C.L. feeding among weeds, when grass rare, not at edge. No recent badger dig (se'd perhaps lost gro.). Many false with green: Salvia lanceolata, much Vlr., Art. fig., some Amur, blit. At upslope edge bedrock under bannert for about 10' width, then the convenient, then Ase, Sidel, probably 1 stone higher than forbs. Here (from Narbath town or ward 13) a small annual drift starting in profusion (= Vlr ? or Polyg. amii.?). || Left several traps set but no catch 2 hrs. || Shot a giv. (157) at Sylvan at 3 p.m. Bothin tame a second to be eating heads of Dpa. Found fairly nut green Vlr in two burrows. || Grew about 1/70 in woody part colony. No evidence activity to N. of stream, when some seen in June (or May). || Upper Sanctuary town. Counted 15 in 2 A corner area, but 5 of these just outside NE corn. really. Basket of rain are now gray due dead Vlr, that caused it. In grassy area I watched me. It scratched with forefoot in Cdg., then picked up dry bone of grass cat. Repeated. Also ate leaves Euphorbia, holding stem in one paw, not cutting stem. Also pulled up one stalk 2" tall Panicum repens - one, took 1 bite, discarded. || Feeding more punched along ground. Did not eat Carey plant encountered. At W. edge on grassy slope 4 burrows in new worked dug badger, 3 being plugged & mound demolished, Sambell on with 1/2 cu. yd. earth dug out, probably within 10-2 days past. || On part of upper Sanct. Town vegetation is 50% Andropogon scop., but grazed shot, 1-3" tall, 4 burrows among it. Where Lappelle had been there for many square yds, now dry, beaten down by buffalos. Gentleston driven by buffalos, but repaired by C.L. (leaving large sheds). No digging for food noted. Above old fence line of why one acre, but Ase dominant & especially grown there (not choice at this season!). 50' W. of old fence, in weed area, grasses <1%. No Seldam, a Dristida belt on this colony. [illegible]
