Jonich Journal June 16 Point Barrow, Alaska The day was spent by Pitelka, Thompson, and me on a trip by weasel with Max Brewer to Barrow's, which is the abandoned site of a day well about 10 miles south of the navy base. The trip extended between 10 am. and 9 pm., in which time we were almost constantly traveling, except for a one hour stop at the well from 4:30 to 6 pm. We saw much of the country in our wanderings, particularly for several miles to the N.E. of the well when direction were temporarily lost. We stopped when- ever there was some object of interest, and to collect specimens and examine nests when it was desirable. The trip was really a grand tour of the inland area and exposed much that was new, to our views. The terrain appeared the same as that adjacent to the base. Bird species encountered included Pacific Eoon, pintail, old squaw, white-fronted goose, black brant, Steller eider, long eider, spectacled eider, golden plover, Baird sandpiper, red-backed sandpiper, pectoral sandpiper, red pha- erope, pomarine jaeger, parasitic jaeger, glaucous gull, arctic tern, snowy owl, long-eared owl, Sapland longspur, snow bunting. Mammals included arctic fox (1 dead picked up), least weasel, and brown lemming. In general the animal life seemed to be about the same in proportion to occurrence within 2 miles of the base.
