25. 19.10.42, Cont. Lugnacullia, WI. cont. of Art's Lough, where saw the usual show of Saxifraga umbrosa & S. stellaris but nothing new. Had lunch at foot of small cliff 1/4 mile above head of waterfall & then walked up through the series of small cliffs to the ridge joining Cloghernagh & Lug. & on to summit. On way up saw plenty of Vaccinium Vitis Idaea at about 2,500 & Salix herbacea in cracks of one rocky scarp. View from top not very extensive except toward Wexford, where The Furth Hills quite clear & a small "hillock" to right of same & beyond may have been the Great Saltee. Great banks of cloud lay on the channel much lower than we were, but a thick haze extended all round horizon above us. Left summit at 3 P.M. & came over summit of Cloghernagh, i.e. the Cloghernagh (called "Kellystown" by the natives!) N of Kelly's Lough, on the East or SE slope of which is an almost unbroken sward of Empetrum & Calluna 26. 19.10. 42 cont. Lugnacullia, WI, cont. with a few scraps of Vaccinium Vitis Idaea scattered through it. During the day we saw five Bumble Bees as follows:- Bombus locorum a fresh ♀︎ seen by Daisy at the "Kettle-hole" at Baravore. B. jonellus a fresh ♂︎ at Erica cinerea flowers at same place; also two other Bumbles seen further up & on way down Cloghernagh, probably same species, though possibly ♂︎ B. locorum. B. agrorum. A wonderfully fresh & torpid ♀︎ picked up on road by Daisy close to Drumgoff at 6.30 P.M., which we put on Ragwort flower. On way up Lug at about 2,500 feet Daisy saw a butterfly which she thought about size of Small Tortoisesheel, but which she could not identify for certain. Collected 5 or 6 beetles under stones of cairn (Percy's Table!) on summit of Lug & found a freshly dead Carabus catenulatus at
