165.

3rd August 1940. 

The third day in succession without a cloud, very hot sun & pleasant, cool, E-SE breeze.  Saturday!  Left Museum at 1 P.M. as senior officer both on leave for month of August (O'Connor & Gogan!) & I do not wish to be absent any afternoon during the week following.

Drove in afternoon to Grand Canal, just E. of Landenstown House, Co KD. (as often before), arriving about 4 P.M. and staying till 8.30 P.M.  Breeze strong at first and not much out till about 7 P.M.

Kept 28 from 1 = tree belt & drainsides between road & canal, 1/4  mile below lock.  4 till 5.30 PM
18 from 2 = Canal (S. side) bank between lock & plantation at 1.  6 till 7 P.M.
24 from 3 = Fields, plantation, drains, &c. S of 1; chiefly field of cut hay & edge of barley field.  7.15 till 8.30 P.M.  & these labelled 29/3/43 et seq. or earlier AWS.

The catch of the day was a ♀ Streblocera fulviceps at 3, but exactly where I cannot say.  This ♀ & 12 other specimens labelled 30/1/41! AWS.
