T. Code 1957 General Account 13 July, Barrow Again spent the day in the lab writing. Plan to leave for Point Lay on 15th for 3-4 days. But my traps have not yet arrived from Christ, and they way came me to leave here short-handed with only enough for one trap set. May brought Orival Saleen, Western District Manager for FE of the Devoliers, into the lab in the afternoon, and we showed him some of our specimens and live animals. The Devoliers from POW1 brought in two line Squeaky Owls for May - c.a. 2 weeks old. 14 July, Barrow Doc Hanna was at POW A, Cape Simpson from 9-11 July. He saw 42 jaegers, of which more than half were long-tail. He also saw 4 snowy owls. None of the owls or jaegers seemed to be nesting. He said lemmings were quite common, and in driving over the tundra one was seen every few hundred feet. Lots of lemmings and ptarmigans. The ground was mostly low crater polygon type. Simpson info
