25 August Barrow, Alaska
Another day working at the 800. In
the morning drove out to the area near
Lewellyn's voth area set up - South of
Family Lagoon creek and East of the gasoline
road - in elevated, dry tundra. Hans
sorted 5 800 samples on the spot:
(f-w-3/0-A) - #1 - removed 1 large
Tipula larva and 1 Pedicia - 12mm. Found
nothing in the next four cores. took
5 more to put in Berlese's jar
comparison. Drove in - saw a small
flock (ca. 10) melastosts in very tall grass
W. of road, in pans created by the road.
Collected 1 of these.
After lunch returned to the voth
area and continues on to the gasoline
just West of Gasoline Ridge. took 8
samples, then wandered up to the
top of gasoline ridge to sample and
hand-sort there. In the first
sample (f-d-2/1-A-3/3) found
3 tipula larvae - all 20 mm. Found
only 1 other larva in the next 7
samples - all carefully hand-sorted.
In the evening hand-sorted the
8 samples taken from lp tundra by the
gasoline and found not a thing!
