Code 1957 Lemmus trimucronatus 13 June - east rests were also found in troughs between the high centers. 15 July Point Lay. Lemming sign is not numerous or even common in this area, as we had been led to believe from Max's earlier observations at the village. Apparently there may have been a local abundance around the village itself on the spit when he was there- such a local concentration around villages is not unusual. I have noticed in the past - but the tundra on the main land side is generally rather poor in microtine sign. The Eskimos (Warren) say both lemmings occur here, and I suspect also some of the other microtines, as the rivers provide a diversity of habitats. I have seen ground suitable for M. mairii and C. subtilis. I would estimate the microtine population in general here to be at a "moderately low" level but not at a "low low." No nesting jaegers were seen today, nor do the Eskimos or light workers know any. No owls were seen.
