MacLean 1968 25 August Barrow to Fairbanks, Alaska Departed Barrow at about 0100 via Wien, and arrived in Fairbanks at 0315. Went to Fairbanks Hotel for the night. At 1100 Dr. West picked us up. He drove us to campus to check into our room (818 Moore Hall), then to the JAB to begin work. Put specimens away and got things organized, then to lunch. First job: prepare some insect material for qualitative fatty acid analysis. Mixed insects with CHCl3-Methanol (2:1) in Waring blender, then poured into flask to stand overnight. Did 8♂♀ Tipula, 8♂♀ Pedicia. there may not be enough material to do adult Prionocera. Checked the weights on the oven-dry v. freeze-dry experiment with lab mice and Microtus; every one of the oven-dried specimens lost a larger % of original weight than the comparable freeze-dried specimen.
