Lemmus
August 7 Cape Simpson, Alaska
present and I do not think any
lemmings will be taken
Aug 10 Traps were retrieved and no lemmings
had been taken during the three days of
trapping.
About a dozen winter lemming nests
were looked at during my stay at Cape
Simpson. None of these had dead
lemmings or lemming remains within
them.
Aug 11 On August 6, Karl Lindroff (apparently
an entomologist) was at A.R.H. and
had just come from the island of
Unimak in the Aleutian chain where
he stated that the lemmings (Dicrostonyx
sp.) were extremely abundant.
Aug 18 Wainwright, Alaska
After three days of having 600+ traps out,
no Lemmus has been taken but four
Dicrostonyx have been trapped.
Aug 19 Traps taken in today and but a single
Lemmus taken but seven Dicrostonyx were
trapped.
