Collection methods and comments
Taxonomic list comments:see Hibbard 1956, 1970
this was reported by Hibbard 1937g and 1941b as "Rexroad" Locality 1
"Cynomys meadensis" type; provenance called into question by comment of Goodwin 1995a, then said by Goodwin 1995b to be "almost certainly intrusive. Hibbard came to this same conclusion"
