Childs 1955 Lemmings Aug 25 Point Barrow Alaska Went out to the north dleame areas after lunch today. Much melting is going on and the snow cover is broken up. Some runways were found with a snow boltan and pellets lying in the snow about every 2 miles of tunnel. Snow was completely gone. Did still along to the types of vegetal that was above the snow level. Tuesday, I am not certain in my mind what affect, if any, This weather would have on the lemming population. At first I thought it would severly affect the late crop of young but I am not at all certain that this is the case. Only time a Chester specimen will tell.
