P. DEBARS, ES 1966 Journal 11 August (Meadele River Coal Mine, 157°25' W, 70°27' N). Bell settled over the entire area and I saw two long-teeth, also [illegible] noted in several days, near the village. The only really surprising feature was the scarcity of Ptarmigan, found a couple of new plants even yet - the floral list for vascular plants now up to about 195 species. 12 August Still windy but not so cold as before. In the morning I went along the Meadele S to Sneed Creek and poked around there a while, Saw 2 long spears on the way plus 3 pied Sandpipers flying along the heads. Nothing at this creek, and all very quiet. In the afternoon went to get a general description of the causes plot - this occupying almost each of the times. There was only 1 pied and 2 longspears on it, the former near a marshy area. The plot appears to be 3 main vegetation types, Crinumulaja (vaginae) (cousinilis), Cetaria association; Eriophorum - Carex low polygons, which grade into the Caws Pond low polygon by a series of associations - Carex - Eriophorum; Carex - Eriophorum - Salix reticulata (mostly along the river bluff where the moss cover is thin; Carex - Eriophorum Salix arbutifolia bonds (almost equivalent to the preceding);
