Tom arrived at Barrow from the
Medoe and we Discussed Cape Thompson-
specifically mouse trapping and
mosquito trapping catching. I want to
use mosquitos (as a readily available
adult Dipteran) to test this
discrepancy between Holmes' and my
own insect weights. Will test final
weights (and caloric values?) of samples
treated with (following Holmes) 70% EtOH,
10% EtOH, direct oven dry, and
(As U.S.A. procedure) freeze dried.
After dinner did a few more stomachs,
then went to social gathering at
Rita Horner's.

Director loaded traps, cages, camera
equipt. etc. on truck, thence to N2146E,
