June 7 Point Barrow, Alaska This morning lemmings were noticeably more numerous about the base, with 4 or 5, or 6 or 8 in right as one crossed from one building to an- other, looking down a long street. Out on the tundra the mice were running about every where, not massed in great numbers, but as one walked or drove the weasel there were always 2 or 3 scrambling out of the way, to duck under the snow or run madly in search of cover.
