20th May 1949. 

A very fine day, the best since 15th;  no rain & much hot sun but wind turning from W. to E. about 10:30 AM caused a cloud-jam which lasted +/- till 6 P.M., then all sunny again. 

Drove in afternoon to Glenasmole, arriving at middle lodge about 4 P.M. & left there at 6.30. Collected by sweeping in three areas as follows:-

1 = Willows, & marsh, at head of upper lake on W. side for 150 yards above (S. of) the boat house, at NE corner of reservoir.
2 = Willows, & marsh, at head of upper lake;  the marsh only recently left dry by fall of water (about 4 ft.) from winter level & almost no sign of life yet below H.W. level.
3 = By path from upper dam down to middle lodge, especially about plants of Cow Parsnip.

Conditions not perfect as stray cool breeze blew right down the glen, but many more insects out than before the rain of last few days!

Glenasmole, Co. DU.
