General Account
13 June - cent
Spent about an hour watching the jiegers
about 7.3-7.4. Returned to village about
1300 and ate late breakfast.
Note on weather and phenology: ever since
we arrived on 10 June, the sky has been
clear with bright sunshine. There were
some early morning clouds today, but
otherwise clear skies still prevail. The
wind has been moderately strong and
N-easterly all the time but around 1200
today it switched, and is now moderate
to light and from the West. Crispophorum
turcetum are green at the bases and there
are a few heads shedding pollen, but most
of these seem to have been eaten by the
lemmings. Cassy is queening in the troughs,
three new no flowers to date. At 1400, a
fog came rolling in with the SW wind, and
ground visibility is now about 2000 feet.
Made the evening run of the troops early and
returned to village to prepare to leave to-
mosaw and to clear up the quarters I have
been occupying in the school. Caught two
more lemmings by hand - one looks pregnant.
Low fog gone at 1700 - now high ridges above -
temperature dropped from the fifties into the
thirties.
