Tig. o.—Distribution in Colorado of golden-mantled ground squirrels (genus Callospermophilus). was also observed in the valley of Evacuation Creek at the north base of the plateau. In the southern part of the State the Say ground squirrel is most abundant in the Transition zone—in the extensive yellow pine for- ests at the southern base of the San Juan Mountains from Pagosa Springs west to Yallecito; on the Dolores and Uncompahgre Pla- teaus; and at the north base of the San Miguel Mountains, south of Xorw^ood. It has a wide zonal range, however, from the lower edge of the pines to timberline, and at Mancos, at least, is abundant in the uf)per edge of the pinyon country.
