Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 19 23 Jun (cont.) 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.
