Cloudy day with intermittent light showers. Three deaths in the colony plus four new ones brought in. Holland helped me finish up after lunch. I requisitioned some weasel pups and asked about the other lots in the animal colony in relation to its availability for our project. I worked proportioning weights of the lemmings in the colony into adequate groups to be used for Schulte special diet but there are not enough lemmings yet, either juvenile nor adults. 12 July Barrow, Alaska Started regular work in the colony with Steve Holland.
