Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 37 July I spent the A.M working on soil samples #37 - 40. Also prepared to go to the field with Steve M. after lunch to check Emergence and single foot traps. I attempted to get the gas engine powered vacuum sampler going but couldnt start. It needs cleaning and adjusting. We plan to take it to the ship this P.M. 1330 Steve was busy until 1400 so I tried to start the engine again, which I did, but could not keep it running. I prepared for this afternoons samplerig. 1455 We arrived on the first area and I checked the Emergence traps while Steve changed the single foot traps and set pitfall traps. The weather at this time is - low clouds but still visability is good - 1-2 miles. A cold wind is coming from the NE. Temperature is 38°F at trap #3 - line 1. I helped Steve finish setting the last of the 10 pitfall traps and then we moved on to Control Marsh. On the way, I took this feeding observation: / a / 3 Jul / Control Marsh / 10/10 / 1500 / # / sat / 3A / %2/ O / Pb-jb about equal. Steve took feeding observations on several flowers due. We continued on to the traps. I checked the Emergence traps and only # 3 of line 2 had Truplidae - two Redline Lomacis or
