These data represent a compilation of the stomach analyses of deer collected in the winter months from 1949 through 1951-52. Figure 10 is a graphic representation of the .T27 stomach analyses, showing the principal items of diet by month. The seasonal utilization of forage on the Lassen-Washoe winter range is shown in Figure 10. It is apparent that the heavy utilization of bitterhrush, which is revealed by the annual forage utilization checks, occurs during the first four months that the deer occupy the winter range. The heaviest consumption of bitterhrush was in Sep- tember and October, when it made up and percent of the diet and occurred in 100 and percent of the stomachs No. sept Specimens 6 FIGURE 10.
