10th July, 1946. 

The fourth very hot, sunny day in succession, with E. wind in Dublin & W. breeze inland in afternoon.

In afternoon drove to Kilbride (S. of Brittas) Co. WI. & spent an hour sweeping under trees (above road) on W. slope of Dowry, as often before:  very many insects out & conditions practically at their optimum, but therefore sweeping lowest branches of oak, beech & birch produced nothing, presumably because all tree insects playing about their tops.

Insects swept under trees & in swampy place E. of road, on W. slope of Dowry, WI.
