Maclean 1967 Journal 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!
