The Montana State Office of the Bureau of Land Management is currently in the 

 process of estabUshing a species of special status program (J. Kwiatkowski, personal 

 communication). Species with special status will be given special management 

 considerations. We believe that species that are widespread in the study area with high 

 densities in some parts of the study area should not be given special status by the Bureau 

 of Land Management. These species generally have a revised Heritage Program status 

 of S3. Only species with a very limited distribution or with predominantly low densities 

 in the study area (SI or S2) should be given special status. 



Table L Species of special concern and limited distribution in the Prjor Mountain 



Desert. One asterisk (*) indicates a species previously unknown from the study 

 area; bvo asterisks (**) indicate a species previously unknown from Montana.
