Our concern in this paper is to extend some models that are descriptive of diffusion processes to the devolution of phenomena. Specifically, we search for disasopter (abandonment) groups who are the devolutional counterparts to the groups of adopters in a diffusion process and for evidence of the applicability to devolution of the wave-like model that depicts the diffusion of some phenomena. We find that extension of these diffusion concepts to the inverse of diffusion, devolution, is appropriate in the disappearance of milk cows from farms in Illinois
