Pocket gophers -- Utah
In the lists of specimens examined, the localities are listed by
counties from west to east, beginning at the northwestern corner of the
state, and within each county from north to south. When two localities
are on the same latitude, the westernmost is listed first.

University of Utah, for encouragement and support in my
investigation. I also acknowledge critical assistance in the
