M. Brock 1958 June 5 Barrow, Alaska peanut butter, bacon grease and clove oil. June 6 Processed lemmings all day. These were lemmings collected by the eskimos at Wainwright. It seems that the eskimo children have learned that the best way to slow down a lemming is to break its skull, thusly the vast majority of the skulls are crushed. In such circumstances, as to when the skull is really crushed flat, I have taken upon myself to discard both skull and skin, recording all the essential data in the catalogue though. When skin and skull not saved it is noted by the catalogue no. Also, in other situations, the skins are so badly torn that they are not worth keeping, or, once again, the skin is slipping and the carcass is rotten and only the data on paper is kept. These are all of course, frozen specimens. June 7 Continued to process lemmings June 8 Processed a few more lemmings. Put up skin of a juvenile arctic fox (Vulpes lagops) which was brought in from the village by Jim Harding on June 3. Packed for Wainwright June 9 Wainwright, Alaska Prepared to go to Wainwright. Plane was to leave at 0900 but we didn't get started until 0930. Flew by bush plane with Frank Gregory as pilot. Nice day.
