124. 1938 After 15th Nov. I had no opportunity for collecting till end of the year, except on when I spent two hot sunny hours about the Furry Glen in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, in the forenoon & saw many Vespa vulgaris on the ivy-blossom there. The weather subsequently was very bad & an acute frost a week before Xmas burst the water-jacket round the engine of the car: also as I was not feeling well I was not out after last date. On 29th Dec. I had to go to bed with temperature which lasted 5 days & ended with bronchitis, so that I was 3 weeks in the house & did not return to Museum until 23rd Jan. 125
