22nd August 1937.  A fine day, with much sun till 2 P.M., then sultry & dull, with change of wind from W. to E. : flying ants a nuisance on the hills (Myrmica ruginodis & perhaps other spp. of Myrmica).  Drove via Roundwood to Laragh & up Glenmacnan to head of waterfall (alt. ca. 1,200 ft) & then walked up Tonelagee to Lough Ouler (1,868 ft):  collected (George & I!) at intervals both on way up and way down & made a special collection along S. shore of tarn at foot of cliffs & where rushes formed chief vegetation.  Many insects out, mostly Ichs., & few Braconids.  Most sent to B.M.
