Abstract: The purpose of this study was to (1) determine diurnal and nocturnal variation in air temperature, relative humidity, and evaporating power of the air, (2) determine diurnal variation in soil temperature, velocity and direction of the wind, and intensity of light, (3) make observations on the incidence of flies and mosquitoes, (4) to compare the data for the three areas studied, (5) evaluate the findings in the light of previously made observations on diurnal and nocturnal movements of elk.
