Pt. Barrow, Alaska July 13 Clear all day with cold breeze. Spent afternoon out on widow ridge working primarily in Betasites area. Most conspicuous in ground were large numbers of Fungivoriids ±30 per meter in 15 minute counts also ±10 Cecidomyiids and ±15 Muscidids. Other incidental include Tabanids, Schoumniids, Tipulids, Staphylinids and Chrysomelids. Midges were not near as abundant in the vegetative on this portion of ridge - I believe the Cold breeze pretty much quieted their activities. They were in evidence in large numbers about tundra pools. Only 1 Bombyx & was seen all afternoon on the large Betasites area & was gathering pollen. July 14 Rain'd a good deal of morning-insect life behind ARL not too noticeable during this period - 30 birds came into traps at first run - decided no more on previous runs. Afternoon spent out on the meter plots on ridge. Weather was overcast with a biting cold wind coming off ocean ice which is breaking up and moving North- ward along the coast. No midges or mosquitoes was seen in flights. Tipulid population up, but those observed were walking across vegetation. Cecidomyiids and Anthomyiids populations also seemed increase in spite of weather. Whites walking over opened soil surfaces were noted for
