The development stages of two den complexes of Dipodomys spectabilis baileyi Goldman were observed from July 1966 to November 1970 in eastern New Mexico. Each mound was observed to develop from a single burrow. The area around the initial burrow was cleared of vegetation, the number of burrow entrances increased, and characteristic mounds developed after a period of 23 to 30 months. Removal of one D. s. baileyi from each mound resulted in noticeable degradation by weathering within 1 month and very marked deterioration within 1 year. Blackwater Draw, a broad, sandy-soiled drainage basin. extending eastward across Roosevelt Co., New Mexico, into Texas, is indicated as the route of dispersal for this species.
