Cade 1958 Bovis arctica 12 July Unniot, Alaska Chester shot at an adult on a lake by T5, but he missed the bird. 14 July Unniot - an adult and two small dozonies we saw seen on a large lake SW of Unniot Lake in the late evening. All three were shot for specimens, but the adult dived and was lost. The dozonies were retrieved. Later a second adult presumably the 07, was seen on this lake. The lake has no island or exposed nests mounds surrounded by water; hence the nest must have been on the edge of the lake. September M esde River - Coalmine - 7 adults were seen together on large lake ca 3/4 X 1/2 mile in area 1 mi SW of village. At least 2 pairs were represented in this group.
