was found to have a,(self-inflicted, somehow?), forarm

control animal.
June 28,1962, St. Barrow;
Clear day with wind. Sun is very warm. Temperature in
colony all right. Hines, Pitelka and I were all set to lay down
trops on lines IV A, B & XI, XII; but the weasel we had
wouldn't start and others were not available. I started
on colony but was interrupted to help in processing data of
lemmings. Hines was called away to observe birds & other
creatures on a plane flight. Sullivan got work a few minutes
later to eat lunch early to leave for Pitt Point after
dinner. After dinner, Pitelka and I set lines IV A & B. Lines
XI and XII were too wet. Holmes came along to Britton's Area
and got off to do some observations. Pitelka showed me the
way he wanted the lines set. Finished some work on the
lemming colony before and after dinner.

Checked the temperature in the colony first and then checked
traps line IV A+B from 0830-0930. There were two kills, by the
Lemmus, and both on A+B. A clear day with a strong cold wind
from the north. After returning, read a report on the Absence
of Stress indications in Lemmus trimonotatus by
