4th June 1946.

After a terrible night of wind & rain, gale all day, with rain blowing in the wind;  intense heat at times & then chilly again, but afternoon almost dry.

Spent morning writing & setting insects.  In afternoon walked to Caher Point, about 3 miles N. of Cloghane, & home by road through Ballygwin (?), & saw some new plants including Anthyllus, Beta (one plant), Asperula cynanchica (on sands), Cochlearia groenlandia & ? hybrids with C. officinalis, Rubus caesius on beach, [[?C. storach]] & Asplenium Ruta-muraria
