Camps and collecting localities on the Arctic Slope of northern Alaska
in 1951 and 1952 (Bee and Jones, July 3-September 6, 1951; Bee,

Camps, and localities in the vicinity of each camp, are arranged
geographically from north to south. The localities listed below under
camps are only those which one or more of us (Bee, Campbell, Jones and
Hall) visited. Travel between camps was by airplane; heavy black
