CHILDS 1951 Aug 5 East O u Malit 40 mi SSE Barrow, Alaska and got 7 MiceTus, 4 of which were juvenile al Red-spotted Blunthroat. On our way to the trap line we came upon a wolf moving along the stream. It was about 100 yds. away when we first saw it. I tried a ball- shot on it but missed it. I had stopped at the top of the bluff at the riverside and was looking at us. We cursed our failure to bring the carbine with us. More Ptarmigan were seen. A Savannah Sparrow and a Redpoll were collected. We found another fossil locality farther down the stream than the first and much richer in species and completeness of the fossils. Many complete leaves, a ginko, several Angiosperms, Sequoia?, were collected. Aug 5 The catch in 50 traps was one MiceTus secernens. The trap line was in a marshy area transected by permafrost lines on which dwarf birch and some willow grow. This contrasts with the habitat where MiceTus murise was caught, i.e., in dry sandy steam banks under tall willows (4-5 ft.) We then walked to the lake where we found the canoe and proceeded to circle the edge of the lake. A & Ptarmigan 2000 flushed with her halfgrown brood on the flat. A group of old, square Ptarmigan
