Fig. 6.âDistribution in Colorado of antelope squirrel {Ammospermophilus leucurus cinnamomeus). j River Valley to Palisade, the antelope squirrel is an abundant and j characteristic mammal. It was not noted at any point in the White 1 and Grand Valleys above 5,500 feet. East of the Uncompahgre Plateau the species ranges over a con- siderable area in the Gunnison and Uncompahgre Valleys. Mr. C. H. Smith, of Coventry, states that he has seen several at the eastern base of the plateau, southwest of Montrose. In the valley of the j North Fork of Gumiison River it occurs east to Hotchkiss and probably to Paonia. In August, 1907, I found these squirrels tolerably common on the open rock}" slopes north of the river at â Hotchkiss. but did not see any near Crawford, at the base of the West.
