Jonich 1953 Journal May 31 Point Barrow, Alaska 8 am. temperature 26°, sky solidly overcast, and a 15 to 22 knot wind blowing. Temperature rose to 31 in early afternoon but wind did not subside until about dinner time. Calm at 10 p.m. with fog hanging low. Frank and I trapped birds and observed Brents on territories, but remained out of the weather much of the time and worked over some frozen lemmings obtained in April. We each put up two skins of them. The weather seemed to reduce bird activity and to keep the longspur flocks close in. June 1 8 am. temperature 37° and air still all night. Cumulus overcast breaking and dispersing, really a pleasant morning. The day turned actually warm and the tundra snow lost its crispness, turning wet by mid- afternoon and collapsing where then and undermined by lemmings. Through the day there was no wind. The sky was partly obscured by hoarice and cirrus for- mations that dimmed the sunlight variably. After observing the Brents about the base I went with Frank Pitelka between 9:30 and noon to Bernike, at old Barrow Village on the point. Here we collected and made general observations. Saw 1 tree 13
