Journal Sullivan, J. Cape Simpson/Flaska July 23 (or 24?) The lake. Durham was interested in obtaining specific gravity and temperature of the water at the surface, at 1, 3, 5, 6 feet in depth and at the bottom. Six and a half feet was the deepest part of the lake recorded. Temperatures ranged from 5-7°C. We also dragged a plankton net while I rowed for a few 100 yard tours. In this way, Durham was sampling the plankton in the lake. The 0-3 ft range was productive of a few zooplankton. Deeper samples and bottom samples seemed to contain no life - or mud. The weather remained good, though the wind from the south impeded progress in that direction. We went ashore at the south end of the lake. Here was more wet tussocks. Caribou tracks were common. On the return to camp a yellow-billed loon flew over. A flock of 30 common eiders also flew low over the lake moving to the west. After supper set the fox traps around the woolier box which contained the captive lemming. Then put anise oil on the box itself and scattered some meat around. Went east of camp a few hundred yards and shot 3 pectorals, and a polarope. Migrators quite active this evening. July 24 Cloudy this morning; wind still from the south. There is a "hill" with a cabin on it about 2 mi. east
