Roford 322 CynomyS ludovicianus December 19, 1955 Nr. Wellington, Colo. Snow around most peg. in explore. When most C.L. Bdg stales only remained, occasional dead appearing chumps Muckl ton. Stripes still green leaned. Kobin worthly in place, not having tumbled & fairly thick on lawn after near bottom (saline). Apparently no chance range recovery while so many C.L., other rodents, 4 rabbits present, tho no large herbivores. Saw one Lepus townsendi in loose pasture. Ground there not as lean as last March as much Kobin standing. No Opetaria in the locality. December 15, 1955 Visited Wellington to preserve town & saw 3 dogs (aly) out, at SE corner as yesterday. There at two burnours 20' apart. I set 3 steel traps then 4-2 live traps near by. Set 1:30. Returned 4:30 & found no fresh trocha at the burnours, 4 no catch in live traps (took up these, left steel taps). Apparently in wintry weather dogs go down & stay when disturbed. Clear & sunny but cold, perhaps 25°F. No greenery but forbes shrubs apparent here. Then drove to C.P.R. relay in NW Weld Co. Snow drifts about 2' deep along E-W fence line. Light snow over most of ground. My explore with about one ft. snow on it. Near ex- plorers on burnour had trocha going in, 4 another near 28 W 2N. Now N. of S. end of my line transect was only used currently by C.L.; the same open with cotton- tail trocha apparently entering. Many Sylvilagus and Lepus trocha in area. Near 26 W 25 + 24W 45, there were 7 C.L. out feeding. Inspector area re-
