T. Cabe 1957 General Account 16 June, Barrow, Alaska Spent the entire day processing specimens from Wainwright. Four Pinnocine Juegers and a set of 2 fresh eggs came in from Cape Hallett. They were taken by C. Nolan and were accompanied by a note saying more were on the way! 17 June, Barrow - Unalakleet, Alaska. Got my gear and food together in the morning, and left Barrow on the regular flight at 1240. Arrived at Unalakleet ca 1400. Dusty Tuledean met me at the plane and lead the ARL weasel cell ready to go except for installing batteries which I brought down from Barrow. The weasel is in fine running order. Spent the rest of the afternoon unpacking and getting the gear/net left in shape. Went out in the evening with the weasel to look over the ground and to ex- amine some of the transects. Weather and Phenology: spring day when I arrived but began clouding over in the evening. Dusty says it has been dry, warm and clear all spring. There has been no rain, and it was a mild winter. The ice on the river went out on 15 May!
