Apparently C. l. had eaten most green Salsola leaves or on burrow. I set 3 traps where sand c.l. seen. Took up all other traps in Sen. 10. || At N. (upslope) edge along a burrow freshly dug out by lodge (lost site) + on 10' distant plugged, mound destroyed, with C. l. sized hole up thru mound. Some stones Curtia cut earlier this year still present, dry. || My 15 traps held 1 C. l. toe, (7/69), one faulty (body taken by carnivore), + 1 missing (mound larger than C.l. took drag). Saw a Lepus townsendi jump from same site where seen yesterday (today in scratched out form, 16" x 4" deep, 4' from the old burrow). || 7/69, an old large ot taken 11 a.m. at mouth 7" grain. burrow on 5% E. slope. About 3 C.l./A. then, + ground cover only 2.5% (est.). Main plants Curtia, Salsola, + Muhli. ton. for 30' around hole (there = 95% art), just traces of Dys. pap., amm, Beta, Solanum. As the ad. 7/67, super red-brown stains genital region. Would like small scars to come from fleas on chin, not oral glands. || Visited then an old C.l. town in unploughed section 5 mi. W. 2 mi.
