Holmes,R. 1961 Journal 4 June Barrow, Alaska in VOA's area + have put a gravel road, leading from the village road to the site. The road just misses the trapline III A+B, and the site when there are now 3 wanigan is very near the enclosures. They are also building some small station with several posts all over the area--from the edge, 1 The logon, almost to VOA's slough. The Waniga were present in the same location with apparently everything intact. The plot seemed to be ok; the stakes were still standing. About 10% of the plot was exposed + RB were the only people that seemed to be present. (one was seen near 5-4). Lemming sign is poor. The workings of last year are quite prominent, but all the doles which I have checked have been filled with water + frozen solid. No fresh workings have been noted. Apparently, there are some near the village, since the eskimos have brought about 100 units to the lot since 30 May. As noted in the species accounts--a few owls have been reported by Pete near the village, also saw me today near VOA - F.T. area. Gargan are relatively common, but none have been seen to capture a lemming. No frost pellets have been noted in stumps.
