Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 38 3 July (cont.) adults. After changing the range foot traps, we came back to the exit point from central marsh at Beach Ridge and checked the pit fall traps here. We found a number of Trypetes - both Trypeta and Lebaeis and several Staphelids and spiders. 1900 we arrived back at the lab. 4 July I got up at 12:00 and came to the lab, to work over sod samples. By mid afternoon, I had completed the first 16 samples. I quit for the day on these. I still have 8 more to do tomorrow. 2030 I went with Tom, to pick up his 54A and B and then we went to his 76B to check them. We found no lemmings in either line. Returned at 2230. 5 July Spent the entire day doing samples. Finished them all in the afternoon. At 8900, I checked the nest. Only #2 and 5 are going, and I could only clock #5 because of the samples flying around. I managed to see both birds finally but couldn't tell anything about which was incubating at all so I left. Fred, Stots Para-Toeger on the area. 1900 I did the sticky boards for Steve - this took about three hours. Then I went to check the nests again.
