9th Sept. 1942.

A very fine "Sept." day with much hot sun small clouds & fresh N.W. breeze, after some very mixed weather, with strong SW winds.

Rode to Glenasmole in aft. arriving about 3.30;  collected for about 1 1/2 hours at head of upper reservoir (= 1) & for 20 minutes on W. side of Slade Brook channel, opposite where boat is moored on W. side of upper reservoir & near dam (= 2).  In the latter station a few insects taken along W. side of channel off alders &c., but most under trees of plantation on top of W. bank of channel, where I had never swept before.
