19th July 1937.  A very fine sunny day, but S. wind rather strong & when sun obscured by clouds rather chilly.  Spent morning in dunes N. of road to Strand Hotel Curracloe; in afternoon drove to Carnsore Point & did some sweeping in lane leading to coast about 1 mile N. of the point & in which Asplenium lanceolatum grows  (See note by A. W. S. in 1. Nat. 1922 or 1923 (?)) & along sheltered bit of coast between that & the point.  South coast west of the point too wind-swept & produced nothing.  Tried seaweed in several places, one single Alysiid found by George, many  Platymyschia dilatatus & little Cynipid (  ) but no other Braconids seen.

Sandhills N. of Strand Hotel road, Curracloe, Co. WX. 11 till 1:30 AM.
