on the beach between Lij (and) Barrow. Arrived at
Barrow at 20.15.
August 12 This morning Holmes and I went South of Voith
Area to lay out new census area. Rope turned
out to be too short so returned to camp. Worked
on plant specimen identification this
afternoon.
August 13 Worked on plant specimens in lab this
morning. Planned flight to Cape Simpson
to set up new trap lines. Worked out
tentative schedule for remainder of
trapping at Barrow. PM - set out lines I, II, IX, X.
August 14 Took census walk this morning. Very
little activity on the tundra. Longspurs
seem to prevail among birds - all juveniles.
Also checked traps this morning. Flight to
Cape Simpson could be any day this week -
so on stand-by for the flight.

Checked trap-lines and worked in lab
