46./ 27th July, 1937. A fine day, but dull till the afternoon, then some sun, a slight skiff of rain with "jam" as wind from west defeated that off the sea; subsequently a beautiful evening, though by no means "hot." Spent morning setting & did not go out. In afternoon walked to Lough-na-peesta & collected round 3 sides of it, as well as round small kettle-hole adjoining to the N.E. On return walk swept precincts of ruined mud & stone cottage 1/4 mile S.E. of L. na. p., & in two "sweeps" took an amazing lot of Parasitica. It may be noted that the ruins are used as shelter for various animals, cows, horses, & goats. Found Halbert's station for Lasius fulginosus at N. end of Lough-na-peesta (See his note in I.N.J. ) & found the workers of the ant abundant on leaves of several alders growing on edge of loughan where earth fence divides two parcels of land; but did not see any evidence of situation of nest. On way to Lough-na-paesta took a very fresh [[female symbol]] Colletes montanus in lane to R.C.C.: a very late date for a perfectly fresh specimen. 47./ 27.7.37 Aft. cont.
