9 August Barrow, Alaska
Traps were checked in the morning
and two more lines were laid
in the late afternoon. Lait work
was continued (17 lemmings caught in
the traplines last night + second burrow
+ nineteen for unimat). The weather
was very poor with rain and
low fog.
30 August Barrow, Alaska
Traps checked during the morning and
evening. Voth's Slough was checked
and it was found to be too wet
for traplines (rain the last day +
half & moist conditions worse). The
two lines located within slough
(II, XII) were located. It was found
that most of the stakes have been
removed or are hidden from
view due to the tall grass.
Lemming activity looked good in
certain portions of the slough. For
runways, eh were well defined.
31 August Barrow, Alaska
Traps checked in morning and evening,
and two lines were brought in.
The lemming picture looks better
