26/

21st July 1937.  A wild day with S.W. gale after heavy rain & storm at night, moderating a little in evening.  Much hot sun & few skiffs of rain but wind made collecting almost impossible.  Spent morning in field below hotel & afternoon in sandhills & marsh at Curracloe; in evening walked along road to Skreen through moraine & examined various "kettle-holes" including the famous "Lough na-paesta," which I visited in March 1911 when "snail-hunting" & where Halbert took Lasius fuliginosus in 1935: see p.47 [[right arrow]]
