M.Brock 1957 Journal July 19 Barrow, Northern Alaska Transects IVA and IV B were checked in the morning. Nothing has yet been caught in TIVA so it was left out but TVB was picked up. A very large number of geese were seen during the course of the day - approximately 50 seen, t Traps XI and XII were set out today and both these areas are extremely inundated; at places the water went over my shoepacks. Line XI is nearly entirely under water, while line XII has a few stakes on wet ground. In many of the water areas the grass is so tall that the traps set on the tops of the grass standing above the water, other traps are floating. All in all there is a very good growth of grass in the both slough area. Various bird skins were prepared and some lemmings processed July 20. Transects IVA, XI and XII were all checked in morning and evening and 220 lemmings were caught in the traps. One live female lemming was caught by hand.
