P. De Benedictis 1925 11 July Barrow, Alaska Variety than around the lab. Most of the area is low and wet, either rather boring muskegs or low-relief low polygons and small, relatively shallow lakes were not infrequently seen, and two large lakes, Ikroaviit and a complexly shaped (probably composite of smaller ones) lake to the west were visited; Ikroaviit was ice-covered except along the rims and thus was their ice on other of its smaller lakes. The appearance of the muskegs was not much different than close to the lab. The uplands here were largely rough, steep relief high polygon largely void of birds except jaegers and the few owls seen. Lemmings workings were wide spread and scattered individuals were noted almost everywhere, as well as a lone weasel. I would guess populations are comparable to those closer in. Poor jaegers appeared to be in the 15-20, closer to 20, /mi² level and no groups nor any old birds or other species were noted: few glaucous gulls were seen. Only 3 pairs of owls were noted and two nests, both with young, were visited. Pectorals and Phalaropes were the commonest species of shorebirds, and dunlins were conspicuous, the only species calling much; other than these only a few Golden Plovers, in flocks and dowitchers were seen, plus the 1st white-rump I have seen in some time. Loons were seen in all its larger lakes, all Arctic Tred-flu. and an Arctic Nest was found; Steller's Eiders were scattered, a group of males being seen, and Oldsquaws were common on
