Saw a few wolf tracks & several coyote tracks on the flat at fork of river below Circle. [[underlined]] Eutamias minimus [[/underlined]] saw one near the J.K. ranch and one above Circle.

[[underlined]] Cynomys leucurus [[/underlined]], a few seen up to Forks of Wind River & some holes above Circle.

[[underlined]] Thomonys [[/underlined]] hills seen all along, both on mesa & on flats.  [[underlined]] Lepus baileyi [[/underlined]] a few seen all along to Circle.

[[underlined]] Neotona [[/underlined]] Woodrats nests were seen in the rocks where ever we were near enough to see them.

The Wind River Valley narrows as we go up to a small canyon below the forks, then widens out again into good flats for farms.  The Circle ranch is the best of all, with a fine bottomland expanse for hay & grain, and excellent range on the ranches both sides of the river.
