Maclaurin 1967 Journal [13 august] filtering, etc. mud sample from Shooting Station. Nothing seemed to work, so I hand-picked one of the mesic sod samples with kalu (1 Pedicig)- then placed a pond margin sample in the vacated tunnel. Home for dinner and the movie with Bobby and kalu, then wrote notes and a letter. 14 August Barrow, Alaska Ordered 10 new emergence traps to make a total of 16 - 8 pairs. Changed the design to make them easier to check - they will be truncated pyramids - a 36" square bottom frame (to make them comparable to the old ones) and an 18" square top frame, connected by 20" pieces at the corners. [sketch of a truncated pyramid] Netting will be firmly attached to all sides, removable at the top for checking and removing insects. Removed and measured larvae from berle'ses. The mesic tundra samples are producing mostly Pedicig - only 1 large Tipula. After lunch went out with tom and walked over P's Plot and Holmes' Marsh while he saw Daphnia VII & VIII. Saw
