[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.

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
