25th May 1938.  Glenasmole, Co. DU.

Went by 2.10 PM bus to Bohernabreena & walked up to Moore's:  swept under trees along W. side of lower reservoir (= 1) & various places between Moore's & upper dam (= 2).  A fine aft. (one skiff of rain) after a wet night & morning:  warm, hardly any wind (W) & insects most abundant.  Hardly any kept & most packed up for B.M.  Most species same as 22nd so only a few tested amongst icks & mostly newcomers.
