A fine morning with strong W. wind; with heavy & prolonged showers accompanied by almost a gale as each shower came on; much colder than earlier in week. Had R.C. Faris (Cavan) & M.W.R. de V. Graham with me all day (10.30 AM. - 9.30 PM.) talking mainly about sawflies, on which group Faris is doing marvellous work in Cavan - particularly breeding work. Spent forenoon discussing, & looking at sawflies, &c., but after lunch I drove the party to R. Liffey, S. of Osberstown Ho., Sallins, Co. KD. to show Faris what R.D. Meikle thinks is Salix nigricans & hybrids between that & other species. Also showed him Meikle's station for Equisetum variegatum at same place & swept a few insects there at same time. Later drove on through heavy shower to Landenstown but too wet to do any collecting & after a further shower drove home, arriving back about 6.15.
