Published in the early 1950s, 'Two New Pocket Gophers from Wyoming and Colorado' by E. Raymond Hall is a scientific work that identifies two previously unnamed subspecies of the northern pocket gopher: Thomomys talpoides rostralis and Thomomys talpoides attenuatus. The book details their geographic variations and morphological distinctions, contributing significantly to mammalogy and the understanding of rodent populations in the western United States. It includes findings from Montague's study in Wyoming and Hall's research in Colorado, providing a comprehensive examination of these subspecies' characteristics and ecological dynamics.
