Excerpt from Revision of the North American Ground Squirrels: With a Classification of the North American Sciuridae Ground squirrel burrows are often a serious menace to the safety of irrigation systems. Birdseye (1912, p. 13) tells of a serious washout caused by irrigation water escaping through a Columbian ground squirrel's burrow located in an orchard on the bench above. Lantz (1918, p 14) cites the destruction of 6 acres of alfalfa caused by the burrowing of a California ground squirrel into an irrigation embankment. An additional count against certain of the ground squirrels is based on the part they play in the dissemination of diseases often fatal to man, as is the case with the Columbian ground squirrel in the spread of spotted fever, he California, Oregon, Uinta, Colum bian, and Richardson's ground squirrels in the spread of bubonic plague, and the California ground squirrel and the Utah rock squirrel in the spread of tularemia.

The first comprehensive treatment of North American rodents of conservation concern. This action plan summarizes the rodent fauna of North America and provides available information on every rodent taxon that has been considered to be of conservation concern by state, provincial and private conservation agencies and regional experts. It is hoped that the survey provided in this action plan will serve as a common ground for all these parties in drawing up conservation strategies for rodents.
