July 4 Barrow, Northern Alaska
All of ARk went on an LVT trip to the
Port Rogers Monument. Before leaving
I checked my traps, nothing caught.
On the LVT trip saw two well developed
phalarope (red) chicks following their
mother. Two longspur chicks were seen,
each at a different locality, hopping along
the ground. I saw one Lemming on
the 12 mile trip to the monument
and of the 38 other people on the LVT,
two other lemmings were reported as
being seen. On the way back one
lemming was reported as been seen.
July 5
A Leillus gemyi was prepared as a study skin
Animal caught by Pete Savolito on May 28 or 29
1957 near Meade River. Bill Maher was with Pete
at the time. Animal kept alive and brought
back to lab. Gave birth to 4 youngon 6-17-57
all of which had died by 6-22-57. Three
animals were saved for Dargith Dayup
who killed this one on July 3.
Since we did not get back from the
monument until very late, I was unable
to pick up the traplines IV and II on
July 4. The traplines were picked up
this morning with no traps missing
and no catch on either line,
