NOTE: This index was tried out during the early stages of the survey, but later aban- 

 doned when it became apparent that figures on actual covies per farm were more accurate 

 and just as easy to get. The above figures are offered, however, as of possible interest to 

 dog men, even though they are not regarded as a valuable index to abundance. 



*Not sure if only one dog.
