Acknowledgments: The Rare Ones is a cooperative publication of the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, North Dakota Chapter of The Wildlife Society, and the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department.

It would not be a reality, however, without the hard work and dedication of the Endangered Species Committee of the North Dakota Chapter of The Wildlife Society. The members of this committee are: Pamela J. Dryer, Chairman; Dr. William Barker, Plants; Hal Kantrud, Birds; Michael McKenna, Reptiles and Amphibians; Fred Ryckman, Fishes; Dr. Robert Seabloom, Mammals. Plant Subcommittee: Dr. Dennis Disrud, Alexis Duxbury, Hal Kantrud, Dr. John Laduke.

Special thanks to the secretaries at North Dakota Parks and Recreation, Kathy Renner and Julie Roth, for typing the manuscript and lists.
