Listed below are additional references which may contain information 

 on behavior and ecology of Gopherus but which I have not examined.

References cited in bibliographic entries 479, 483, 604, and 612. 



Possible sources of additional references suggest themselves: 

 a) physiological journals, particularly those in which the scientific names 

 of experimental subjects do not appear in titles or indices; b) local peri- 

 odicals of narrow circulation and certain popular periodicals of natural 

 history; c) literature on the burrow associates of Gopherus . A search of 

 literature on some of the organisms associated with the burrows of G. poly - 

 phemus , for example, would yield records not included here.
