Holmes 1963 Journal 47. 1 August. Sachs Harbor → Bernard River, Banks Island, Canada After spending the night at Sachs (became low clouds, fog, rain & 10-15 mpt westerly breeze- which has been the weather here since Dec 75th), we left this a.m. at 0800 & flew west to Cape Bellett & Pierre's Point along the coast (the country near the mouth of the Bellett River was very marshy & Euphorbia blossom were widespread - if this should be good fasciaria habitat). On the trip north - we were for most of the time but Glaciers, fields, vegetation on Sabine Gully were frequent, etc. along the coastal sandbank & lagoon. Flora / fauna: 3 to 40 birds seen from the ponds adjacent to the coast. Upon coming to the Bernard River which empties into Beaufort Sea near the NW corner of the island, we turned east & followed it for twenty miles & until we reached the camp (Mr. J. Mahon) for our assistants - Steve MacLean & Rich Tenera. The camp is located on the north bank of the river, at a point near the junction of the Bernard & "out" rivers. After settling, Doug Kaff, Del & I walked north to the foothills (Carnes) over the Eropha flaky covered terraces & meandered lanes - where a C. fasciaria had previously nested.
