1. Cade 1957 General Account 15 July Barrow - Point Lay Left Barrow at 0915. Stopped at Liz 3 at 0955 and off again at 1008. Arrived at Liz 2 (Point Lay) at 1053, Met Clarence Molan, the station superintendent, and got squared away in a wanigan. Molan made a wheel available for me in the afternoon, and I was taken out onto the tundra back of the site. We were out from 1515 to 1720 and covered about 2 1/2 miles ground between the site, which is west on the lagoon, and the Kokolik River and the large lake where they get their drinking water, about a mile east. There is a gravel bed road got to the lake. The ground right along the lagoon is up- raised a bit and is a Eric phoenicu typock - herb - dwarf shrub complex but this drops down almost at once to low flat terrain of lacustrine polygons. The highest rise in the immediate vicinity, a short ridge ca 50 ft high, lies between the lake and the river - north- west of the lake. We went over this ridge, along the river to the eastern end of the lake and back to the site. Lupine, and a plantain were common flowers seen.
