Holmes,R 1962 Journal 5 June Barrow, Alaska was starting to accumulate. Snow bare & crusty. Lemming signs are generally poor - are most parts of the tundra - some runway activity & seemingly fresh pellets are seen only occasionally - A yet - only the byltic habitats are exposed & when the drought lowlands are eventually further frozen more sign may be found. The Drum area (behind spi) seen to be the most productive & to show the best sign. Cache has collected several Dew & Galls & Snow Owls are concentrating in the area. 6 June 0800-1200. Weather overcast - light NE wind - cold - all ponds were frozen & snow was crusty. By 1100' many pond were become frost ice & snow not softening.

Brinton's both sides), recent ridge village sloughs. The Dorothea plot is still covered - only a few broken 1 gram are seen poking through at the very right hand area. A patch 40'x 60'
