[10 August] case of beer. Stross and I decided to
look at the possibility of using hospital

Mt. Edgecumbe, Bethel, and Barrow,
with maybe some Indian hospitals from
the South 48 thrown in.
11 August
Barrow, Alaska
Up early, under protest. Measured
7 more Pedicia larvae from Berleps -
then B.S.'d with Don Beaver until
his departure for the South '48. Wrote
more notes to bring species accounts up to
date. In fact, I am even caught up with
copying feeding observations! Next prepared
tanglefoot boards for afternoon change, and
after lunch went out to do so. About 30
alpina and 40 pusillus by reefer row pond.
Collected 1 alpina - 811 809. Almost no storebines
beyond. Central Marsh was empty. Heard
2 melanoetes fly over - no other pectorals.
Saw 2 alpina, and finally a flock of ca.
18 pusillus on the Wessel road. No
ploughers or dowitchers seen or heard.
Changed boards at site I and brought
