M. Brock 1958 July 11 Barrow, Alaska IVA or IVB. No traps were ever missing and very few traps were sprays (some sprays by themselves) and there were no second runways present. The habitat at VII and VIII is much the same with only an extremely few runways present and these are old ones. No other sign of lemmings noticed. Lines VII and VIII are also quite wet. I suspect that no lemmings will be caught at those lines either. No lemmings have been caught or seen at Barrow this year summer (by the lemmings project workers) I was in the field from 1300 to 1700 and saw one parasite jaeger in the both area and then four jaegers in a group in Central Marsh and that was all the jaegers. Extremely few other birds were seen: about four dunlins, 2 phalaropes, one sandpiper, 3-4 longspurs and 1-2 snow buntings July 12 Traplines VII and VIII checked in morning and afternoon and not a single bird or lemmings caught. Area very wet and spongy when stepped on. Many times when walking along the line I would break through the organic layer and stand on permafrost. Utilization checks made of transects VII and VIII
