Hurd 1953 July 20 are at full bloom stage. The Papaver on the ridge has begun to bloom in profusion. Potentilla is approaching maximum bloom and the common muscid is quite prominently in about its flowers - examining body hair reveals pollen grains. The ridge has a definite green cast to it, however, not near so noticeable as the marsh. Many of the marsh anetophila ponds have dried up are rapidly approaching it. On the vegetation in and immediately adjacent to the ponds on marsh long numbers of the caddis fly adult are present. The chironomids resting on vegetation are at an all high. They are probably ±100 per sq. meter - some as high or ±500. July 22 midge flights (Chironomids) came into camp + continued to fly up until 1:30 a.m. Some were found on walls of sleeping quarters while actually numbers not large they were continuous observed.
