Abbott Memorial Fund of The University of Chicago. ‡ This investigation could not have been carried out except for the magnificent cooperation which we received from many individuals in the State of Colorado. We are most grateful for unusual favors and thus desire to make acknowledgments to a few of these persons and institutions. Dr. R. G. Gustavson was most helpful in the preliminary organization of the project, in discussions of key localities for 3 Colorado stations, and in correspondence with institution officials. Dr. Fred. E. D'Amour, University of Denver, was most generous in aiding in many details of arrangement, in suggesting able assistance, in the loan of animal cages from his laboratory and letting contracts for the construction of others.
