M. Brock 1958 Journal June 27 Atteusuk, Mead River Coal Mine, Alaska one of the lakes on the way to the hios. One turned out to be a saline gull on a nest (see spec.) while 200 feet away was an arctic tern on a nest (see spec.) June 28 Walk taken out on tundra and a northern phalarope was collected. It turned out to be a male (T=7x3) and had two large brood patches. It was prepared as a study skin. Jon and I took traps and set out Insect 1, walked over to transects VII and VIII and retrieved them, walked over to transect III and set it out. Stakes for transect IV could not be found. They were not found last year but at that time the area was covered with snow. Transect IV therefore layed out parallel to III and at the base of the bluff. We returned to the warigan ate some [illegible] and then went over the river to retrieve trapline V. Here we recovered our first catch an adult Micratus oconomus in one of the traps. The traps were retrieved and move to transect II which was set out. A walk was taken in the [illegible] evening. The Micratus was processed and prepared
