15 July. they mixed themselves up and got on the boat only
TV A, B and set these instead. After Lagoon returned, I
took Hank to the live plot so he could stay the night
in the wagon there. A fog was in at this time and a
cold wind was continuing. I wrote notes and hit the hay.
16 July. Barrow, Alaska
Steve Holland and I worked in the colony until 1400. Today
is weigh day which involves a large amount of time. We
obtained a large amount of wood shavings and sawdust from
the shop about 1030. The temp. this morning was about
27°F. It was drizzling off and on, and the water froze
on the windows and steps. Hank Childs reported that
he nearly froze his funny off in the wagon last night.
He caught 3 lemmings in the live plots. One was caught
twice and one juvenile died. Holmes found birds bedded
on their nests and very few adult insects were seen. He
took a quara-sample (vacuum) late and did find some.
I worked on the data sheets, comparing experiments in the
metabolic cages grass experiments. A fog came in about
1700.
17 July Barrow, Alaska
Steve Holland and I started on the colony and worked

insects I got from Holmes. Childs was picked up for
lunch by [illegible] Lagoon at 1130. Today is cool but
not as much drizzle in air as yesterday. After
lunch, Holland and I finished the metabolic cages
