4.6.42, aft.  Laghta Eighter & Hill 1287, 5 miles South of Old Head, Co. WM., 3.0 till 6.30 P.M.
NB. The Hill 1287 is of granite!

At foot of overflow channel, referred to on p. 199 was a small Mt. Ash tree in full flower & on return journey stopped for 15 minutes at it to try & catch specimens of Metopius clearly seen, but out of reach, several times - failed to catch it.  With the Metopius were dozens of other icks;  ♂︎ Andrenas, flies, Green Hairstreaks, & a black & white checkered Geometer moth, but time prevented me staying to investigate the insect fauna of the tree properly.  Insects were very numerous at head of channel & all over the hill, in very hot sun, but I did not seriously collect.

Dolerus aeneus ♀︎ taken: many ♂︎♂︎ & ♀︎♀︎ seen all over hill
Tenthredopsis nassata frequent at head of channel;  black & red & toffee-coloured ♀︎♀︎ taken;  also ♂︎.
