Maclean 1966 appeared in good numbers - assuming I haven't been misidentifying them before. Very small - cd. 10 mm and less. At least 3 recognizable species. Spent the rest of the day talking with Paul, back from Cape Thompson, and on some badly needed catching up on field notes. Finished day by removing stomachs from birds brought in Friday. 1 August Barrow, Alaska Cold rain all night long, and a mean looking morning, with intermittent rain. [Interject: forgot to mention yesterday - in checking for Carabids saw a large number of Muscids - didn't look like Spilogona - fully 1/2 of those seen were copulating. More evidence of synchrony in Arctic insects.] Finally got around to answering Brina Kessel and writing Pitelka, then wrote May and July Progress Reports. Somehow, that took up most of the morning. This afternoon tried to see Brewer regarding personnel shift. Looked at stomachs while waiting. As usual -
