<br />• <br />Invertebrates. Field collection of invertebrates was accomplished on May 30 and 31, 1974. <br />A standard 50-sweep transect, using a 15-inch diameter sweep net was the collection method <br />employed. The samples were placed on ice in the field, transported to the laboratory, and <br />transferred to labeled vials containing a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol and 0.5 percent <br />glycerine preservative solution. Invertebrates were then hand sorted from the vegetation <br />and other debris in the sample before they were identified and classified. Within each <br />family to xon, species groups were identified, enumerated and recorded. <br />Locations of the four sites sampled by the sweep net transects are depicted on E.xh~hit <br />11-3. Transect pl was located in a forb dominated area; transect p2 sampled a sedge <br />meadow within the forb type habitat near the west end of Hubber5on Gulch; transect +~3 <br />traversed a sagebrush community near the ridge separa[i ng [he Dry Creek ,md gape <br />Creek drainages; and the fourth transect was located in a forb community near transact <br />k3. Each transect was approximately 50 yards long, <br />• fte n[hic Invertrb nit es .m d Prrirhvtnn. the 6rnthic anA pen phy[ic comnuni ties nr ~hr ~.; udv <br />12 <br />
