Maclaren 1968 Journal (25 July) One problem is that there is no clear separation between large 2nd year and small 3rd year larvae; the size distribution is continuous. In the evening - the usual - sorted 500 samples, the ever-present curse. Since they are doing so poorly we have been trying to sort 100%. Barrow, Alaska the warm weather fades - but not quite as warm today. Wrote our July Progress Report, sorted the rest of the 500-samples, and had a conference with Herr Director. Agreed to take a couple our to the tundra today.... in return for a trip to Meade River this week-end. Went our right after lunch with Pete and Dr. & Mrs. Dr. Taylor - Dentists from Pasadena. Went our Gasoline Road to repeat the last 500 sample site of the second series. Next walked over to Voth Slough to look for traplines XI & XII. We found them - I think. there are parallel rows of stakes about the correct distance for major stakes along the east edge of the slough. Drove back through camp, then our to insert site I. Again - nothing in the traps. In the evening we began sorting the new set of 500 samples. Then Edele and I went our to shoot up otatiano vises. & eiows are beginning to appear in the flocks now.
