[[right arrow]] 16th April 1937.  A miserable cold, wet, afternoon.  Drove to Bryanstown Ho., S. of Maynooth, W. of Cellridge, where the Misses Fowler live, to investigate supposed plague of biting insects in house;  but found nothing except numbers of Chalcids on the windows (said to have been more numerous a couple of weeks earlier).  Found the good ladys suffering from "nerves", due I believe to an invasion of [[underlined]] Cimex [[/underlined]], which came with a servant-maid early in the year, but now got rid of.
