Lemmus
4 July Skroavik, Alaska
areas a The trap/ polygon have been
from t chewed up so that the
surface ground is in shambles.
It is no words that The mice
population is disturbed by The
lemming's activities.
6 July Barrow, Alaska.
Reynolds, Warner + I completed a lemming
census today which was started last
evening. This was two 1000 'x 58'
plots adjacent to Traphin 7 and 8.
The lake was similar to the trap
lake & has been re-circulated by
Reynolds.
9 July Skroavik, Alaska
While running The plat last evening
+ today, it was noted that numerous
death + partially eaten / tumming carcass
can now be found. I could
guess that in my wandering on
the 108 other I have seen 30-40
carcasses. Of course, there are
many & must have mines.
There are apparently pega hills
where The mice have eaten
just the viscera or somewhere a part
of the body.
