23rd April 1934. A wretched day after a fine night & glorious morning, with rain from 1.30 onwards after arrival of a "noonday depression."
Drove Rev. Gregg & his son Noel, also E. OM., to Emo Park, Q Co, where Rev. P.G. Kennedy, S.J. now in charge of Jesuit College for novitiates.
As the Greggs were only interested in conchology I stopped at all canals &c, & so spent 2 hours near Woodbrook House, close to Mountmellick canal, Q Co. Here took & gave to Greggs many [[underlined]] Acanthinula lamellata [[/underlined]] & one white [[underlined]] Acicula lineata [[/underlined]], the latter under a sunk stone. Amongst beech leaves E. OM. took one [[female symbol]] ick - Diaparsis ? sp. ?
Spent some time in rain going round the grounds at Emo Court & lake & saw some promising bits of collecting ground, stumps, glades &c.
In canal just S.W. of Monasterevan, Co. KD. dredged from the Barrow canal one specimen of the rare beetle [[underlined]] Haemonia appendiculata [[/underlined]], only previously recorded apparently from two places (Du. & ME.) in the Royal Canal. 
[[side note]] Willow Warbler heard at Emo Park. [[/side note]]

Transcription Notes:
Managed to solve some [[?]]. Also see this for Xylonomus genus http://insectoid.info/insecta/pterygota/neoptera/holometabola/hymenoptera/apocrita/ichneumonoidea/ichneumonidae/xylonomus/ [[Plectiscius?]] may be misspelling of Plectiscidea -@siobhanleachman that was my theory on Plectiscius too, so I'm willing to un-bracket it -@meg_shuler
