E.M. Brack 1958 July 12 Barrow, Alaska Seven white laboratory mice were been kept in an aquarium in the lab. Yesterday four were found dead all very close together and one was 75% eaten. It was assumed to be just a plain case of cannibalism although three of the mice were not touched. Lettuce and grass were available as food. Today the remaining three were found next to death just barely able to move. Some dog biscuit pellets were laid next to them and they just managed to partake. The three survived - Conclusion: the lettuce and grass, although eaten, is not sufficient in itself to keep the white lab mice alive and they will starve. July 13 Prepared study skin of juvenile snow buntings brought in yesterday. Made forage utilization checks of transects I & II. Ran traplines III and IV only once today and not a thing taken. Pete Sovalik shoot and brought in a bearded seal today. It weighed 207 lbs. I tried to obtain the skin & skull for M.V.Z. but the skull was very much damaged and, also, some physiologist are looking for brain tissue and mutilate all skulls they lay.
