Maclean 1968 Journal 16 June Barrow, Alaska Almost went to Wainwright today. Edna was to go with Dr. Young, the eye doctor. There was an extra spot on the plane, which I volunteered to fill. Just as things were arranged a thick fog moved in. Waited around for it to lift, then gave up and went in to spend Father's Day with Edna's family. Walked home via the inland route to So. Salt Lagoon about 1:00 A.M. Saw nothing of particular note. 17 June Barrow, Alaska Transsect day again. Spent the morning sleeping in, then measuring berlèse products. Started transects at 12:30 - did III + IV (A & B). Again heard tenors by IIIA-B. Back to the lab, then out to II + I, I+II, IV+VI, then VIII + VIII. Discovered that I have to do VII + VIII as a greater distance from the lines, since years of walking the traplines have worn a trough, so that the immediate vicinity of the line is wetter than the surrounding marsh. Again - much melt in the past 2 days; we're down to 30.9% snow cover. Much of the rest should go before the next series of transects. Finished the job at 6:30 P.M.
