Vessel for trap line area 3 A + B. I helped
Tom set out the traps for the first time because
I needed the pack the traps was in for my samples.
I took samples # 21 to 28 from the margin
of a permanent (?) pond. I think the pond is
permanent because the grass [illegible] growing
was need like not like the grasses on the
near by dry areas. Samples 29 though 36
were taken from a trough middle between two
polygons. Standing water occurred here.
The wind is cold & out of the NWest at
about 15-20mph. The clouds are low and an
occasional snow flake is falling.
1530 Steve took my samples and me back to
the bb and then returned to pick up Tom.
I set all 16 samples in the freezer to
dry them up a little and also to get out
what larvae I could. Then I continued going
on through the sad samples.
Turned in at about 2230 after reading
a paper on tipulids by Coulson and glaring
at one by Freeman on a population study of
of a Tipulidae spp (?). Both papers look
good but I'll have to read them thoughtly before
I can tell for sure. Both follow closely
what I hope to do with the Tipulidae here.
