1000 prepared all of my sample socks for gathering some more samples this afternoon. I decided to get 16 samples from [illegible] marsh and 8 from the Beach Ridge area near central Marsh samples. I also prepared to check the emergence traps that were set out yesterday.
1320 Not to coordinate use of the vessel with Tom, C. so I went to lemming lines #4 A and B and helped him set the traps on one line. We finished this at 1415 and then headed for the Beach Ridge micro-mat area.
1430 Arrived at the traps. The temperature on the outside thermometers was 40° maximum, and 35° minimum. The thermometer inside the trap read 40° max and 30° min also. Trap #3, 2 and 1 were difficult to collect insects from because of the vegetation they cover. No pupids were found (see Diptera study). We left the area after checking the traps.
1600 We arrived at the central marsh area. We checked the emergence traps and found no tripulids (see dipteran study). We took wet-area samples #37-45 in the standing water 25% vegetation area of central marsh near the trap #1. The samples #46-52 were taken from standing water areas of central marsh,
