19th Sept. 1946 (Thursday).

Drove to Skerries Bog, North of Athy, Co. Kildare, with Rev. K.M. Dunlop, in his car, he wishing to get larvae of Menyanthidis on birth & we were both successful in this.  Left Terenure at 11 A.M. & reached the Skerries Bog at about 12.45.

A dull day with drip from 2 P.M. but this did not stop collecting till 3.30 P.M. when steady rain set in & we had lunch & then drove home via Kildare, reaching home 6 P.M. exactly.

Collected for about 2 hours in patches of birch & willow scrub just E. of railway & about 1 mile N. of Kilberry on west edge of the great Skerries Bog.
