29th Sept. 1943. 
Hot misty rain nearly all day!  Set insects in morning & in afternoon during dry spell rode across valley to visit "Bob" Givens of "Holmsgrove" who, the day before we left Dublin had sent a Convolvulus Hawk-moth to the museum & found him a very nice young man of better class farmer type, who keeps bees.  Did not collect all day.

30th Sept. 1943. 
Left hotel on bikes at 11 AM. & rode via Bansha to train at Limerick Junct. to catch 2.45 train for Dublin - luggage went by pony trap! - which reached at 6.30 & home at 7 PM, & so ended our Autumn Holiday.

Stopped at noon & did a little collecting by sweeping in Bansha  Wood, ST., on edge of Aherlow Castle woods & forestry plantation N. of same, but everything very wet after previous day's rain. 

Very hot & humid in shelter!
