Although no pairing was apparent, the ova in the 9 Pectoral which was collected were quite large (5 mm). Very little microwave sign was noted. 7 June Barrow, Alaska. 1100-1200 - Barrel Area. Weather overcast and moderate S.E. wind. The area is still covered with snow, and the wind is making matters worse by couring the areas which were exposed to become covered by drifting snow.
