August 2 - 97 Monday Baffin Land. Started to collect petrophere specimen and insects for the day with Mr White, For the paleontologist the region is uninviting since crystalline artho alone are present and these are badly contorted, fused and jointed. Of insects we collected 2 large bees, about two spiders, 2 moths and 4 or 5 butterflies. One small black spider carries about a nest while one of the large miller species also carries about a nest. The latter lived in a large hole which we covered with a net. Numerous very small diptera and mosquitoes were actually but no beetles. One ridge which we climbed measured 920 feet to the summit. The scenery from the summits was grand, Out to see the ice islands were playing in view and in the sea a few large floating about. On land in many places small patches of snow remained but none of them hardly rise to the distinction of glaciers. White took fine photographs then to make a panorama and another to show glacial lake. Decameron attack for the trip. Return at 6 P.M very mycol tired put in transit ship to get it ship fact and able to so much farther. And travel over.
