Cade 1958 General Account 20 June - cont red phalarope. We returned to ARL at 1150. Spent the afternoon writing notes and correspondence. Sky with hazy overcast today and some onshore wind but weather still relatively mild. After dinner Brock and I went out again from 1830 to 2105 to view the six tunducts. When we got back I walked out over the Alectophila area between ARL and the Camps between 2115 and 2220 - to look for more lemming nests. 21 June Barrow - Brock, Maher and I went out on the tundra with John Cantlon at 0800 to get some Botanical information on the local grasses and sedges. Sky again bright and clear but cold wind blowing from off the ocean. At 1345 I went out in weasel to look for lemming nests. The area investigated was the high grounds around T9 and T10. Nests were sparsely distributed in this area, Also looked at areas between the beach ridge and the airstrip, in the center of Central Marsh, and at the south end of Central Marsh. Back in camp at 1700.
