Abstract
Eleven burrow systems of Nesokia indica, located in the waste lands/fallow lands of Faisalabad district were excavated to know their internal structure. The burrow consisted of both superficial and deep seated tunnels. The former were generally located within 20 cm of ground surface while the latter were at depth ranging between 21 to 80 cm. The number of chambers, depending upon the size of the burrow system, varied between 1 and 5. Not more than one chamber was found lined with plant materials. Most of the chambers were located between 31 and 50 cm. Dead ends were numerous and about half of them were located within 20 cm of ground surface.
