M. Brock 1957 Journal June 19 Atkasak, Mead River Coal Mine, Alaska Forty snap traps were set out ( to do some spot trapping) about 100 yards east of stack 0.0 of transect II. Checked traplines in the evenings. Only catch was a ? longspur, June 20 Traplines checked in the mornings, only thing caught was a semi palmated parrypiper. Nothing was caught in the spot trapping that was done; these traps were left out until tomorrow. Took a walk south of the coal mine and back around transect II. The day was very overcast; no jaegers were seen. The only thing to be caught in the trapline in the evening check was a red pole which was prepared as a study skin. In my stay at Atkasak I only saw the one vicrortus alive in the field; no lemmings were seen by me in the field. As an added note, I hope that transects VII and VIII will not be bothered by the eskimos. They are about a mile away from the camp village but are very prominently stacked and clearly visible since the stacks protrude about a foot above the surface of the ground.
