P. De Bendict 1965 Lemmus trimucronatus 4 July Barrow, Alaska - one was seen out in Vottl slough, giving a muffled squeak and digging in a pile of cuttings: on closer inspection a 2nd lemming was seen in the pile. The animal digging in appeared to be a 3rd and it would dig in until the face of the buried lemming, was exposed. Then ran around to the back of the animal and began to dig again. At the same time the 2nd lemming would turn around in its grass pile so that the two always ended up facing each other. This kept up for 2-3 minutes, then the 3rd quit and ran off down a runway. Then did not seem to be any change in #s seen any of the area covered today. 5 July A few were seen well out in Central Marsh and they are well maintained runways in other parts of the marsh that are drier. They are probably not too common due as they are in higher places. 6 July There seem to be about as many along the shore of Elson Lagoon as any other, but there seemed to be very few in Holmes' Marsh and Central Marsh although some runways were well maintained and a few of the burrows were seen. 12 July lemmings seem to be about as common around I know with as close in the station. Very little change in #s after this time no young seen to at least 29 July.
