E.M.Brock 1957 Microtus June 18 Atkasake, Mead River Coal Mine, Alaska While I was placing the traps out near stake 1.0 this morning (about 11:30) a Microtus ran across the ground and into a pond of water and started swimming across. I started after it; and as I did, the Microtus dove and started swimming underwater in the shallow pool. I caught it and brought it back to the wariqan and will try to get it back to Barrow alive, June 23 Upon returning to ARL from the Mead yesterday, I placed the Microtus in its own aquarium. Today three partially eaten young were found in the cage (aquarium) Aug 30 Microtus killed today and prepared as a study skin. A pup was present but no scars could be found although she had given birth to a litter on June 23 - Specimen # 925
