10. Journal 18 June so that I worked on the colony while Steve wrote the date. About 1500 I started helping Dave who was removing tissues from the processed lemming. Stopped about 1700. After dinner, Steve and I checked snap traps. I checked the live traps on the return as I had earlier this morning (1 taken) and found none. Upon returning I & wrote the data for lemming processing. I started the heater and another thermograph in the colony. 19 June Barrow, Alaska Checked live traps early this morning and found nothing. Weather to foggy with a cold wind; very miserable. I worked on arranging the colony better and then started routine work on the lemmings. Food and water consumption data was begun. Weights were taken and all sawdust was changed. Worked in the colony until 1330. Helped process lemmings from Traplines I & II and then some from an earlier mass sample. After dinner was a movie followed by a running 2 live trap scout 2130. Nothing caught. Wrote notes & quit. 20 June Barrow, Alaska Checked live traps and living snare catch, moved them about 20 yards north east on a parallel line. Returned and saw Dave about making up more data sheets for myself and Schultz's project Obtained routine data from the colony until noon
