same. Last Hollano sample taken at about 5:00 P.M. at South end of Long Lake beyond Htroaik, about 10 miles from coast. Decided to continue beoo To South. Passed flocks of turnstones and redbacks, and 2 large flocks of Sabines. Diminuished each. Loons and Dinkail ff now extremely abundant. Reached North end of Lake Sungovook about 7:30 P.M. What the Hell! kept going South, between L. Sungovook and L. Kimouksik. Sungovook is gigantic - like reaching the ocean. Flock of ca. 150 redbacks + 30 turnstones between lakes. The polygon base were largely covered with tussacks of E. augustifolium. Hollano reports less Dupaetia in grassy meadows. Continued down narrow land bridge between two lakes, until eventually stopped by deep, ice-bottomed stream at South end of Sungovook. As we looked at the stream a boat put out from the eskimo camp at the end of a bay, crossed the ice, and came down to us - Nak! somebody and his son Danny - about 10 years old
