Walk taken out on tundra and a

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
