23rd July 1937.  A fine afternoon & evening after a terribly wet night & rain at intervals till dinner time (1:30 PM.).  Did not go out till after dinner, then walked along shore almost to Blackwater Harbour & back & collected a few insects in parks & on sands, blown off cliffs, including a [[female symbol]] Chasmodon apterus (subsequently lost out of sucker!) found by George.  In evening explored the moraine country between Curracloe, Blackwater & Screen, & worked kettle-hole near Kilmacoe, Ballinesker, & Lough-na-peesta.  Saw also some very nice ground between Blackwater & Screen & in sand pit at highest point of road took a fine marine shell (=   ) & some fragments.
