66. Found 5 pups back at end of a badgers hold in a sand bed.  Opened the hole so I could crawl in my length and reach them.  They did not try to bite tho probably a month old, with teeth coming through & bright eyes.

I photographed them & the den.  Made specimens of the two little ones & 2 of the larger litter.  Kept three alive to send to the zoo. 

Got back at 1P.M. & then hunted chipmunks.  Killed a few & also found a colony of [[underline]] Citellus [[armotus?]] [[/underline]] on the meadow.  C. elegans is abundant on the uplands, just as I found them at Ft. Bridges in 1888.
