23rd. Aug. 1942. 

A very fine day - the best for some time after a cold clean moonlight night.  Gentle N.W. breeze in morning, sun & cloud alternating during the day, very hot in places.  Rode to Blessington where arrived about 12.30 noon & at 3.0 P.M. went on to Glending where collected till about 5.30.  On way home ran into NE-E breeze off the sea which had caused a jam over the hills & over Dublin.  On way down Slade of Saggart could see the smoke of Dublin & a kind of sea-mist drifting up the Liffey Valley as far as Lucan while the higher groundabout Tallaght was quite clear & free from smoke or mist. Collected in 4 areas a follows
 
1 = Blessington:  slope to where old road runs down into the water of the new reservoir.  Co WI.
2 = just east of 1, swampy field sheltered by belt of trees sloping down to new reservoir, half way between Blessington & the new bridge.  Co. WI.
3 = Glending:  S. side of pond and drain W. of same under hedge, at head of the overflow channel, Co. KD. 
4 = Glending:  in wood (remains of) & near plantation on WI side of boundary wall, in upper part of channel.  Co. WI.
