Journal July 30, 1962, Pt. Barrow; Started on colony early because there was a possibility that Sullivan & I might go to Wainwright; he, to set traps and stay, and I to find out where the trephines are and return. Won't be able to go until possibly tomorrow. Went sampling for blood with Dave. Went to the "barrel area." Caught 15, of which 14 were sampled; the other died too soon. It was very easy to find these. Over half were juveniles. One litter and mother were taken. This took three hours or more. Started processing the blood by 1530. I washed the glassware while Dave analyzed. His dye was off and his microscope burned out but we struggled through. Went to the colony to finish. Dave joined me soon after we finished it. Seminar Tonight, steering Dr. Wood with his subject of "Arctic Flowers." Drizzled off and on with a small wind. July 31, 1962, Pt.

Dave & I went over the project of Schultz's for grass feeding the lemmings. Adams left today. We put the lemmings on lake chow to start them all from scratch. In 3-4 days, we will start these on Eriophorum Carex. I went week with Dave to wash glassware because Max Brewer wanted everybody in their lab due to an inspecting team [illegible], undersecretaries & what-nots, visiting
