M. Brock 1958 4 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.
