Joined excursion with Quaternary Geologists & Botanists run by G. F. Mitchell & went by bus to Bellurgan, Co. Louth to see raised beaches, &c. along coast of Dundalk Bay. Listened to account of a Mesolithic kitchen midden on highest of the raised beaches, but much doubt the supposed Mesolithic date of this bed of oysters & other marine shells - even if it is a midden. Then drove to great raised-bog just inside Co. Louth & just E. of Essexford 291. 26.7.1949, cont. Bog E. of Essexford, but in Co. Louth. in Co. Monaghan - 3.0 P.M. - where swept a few insects off & around birch on cut-away part of bog S. of the road. Went on through Carrickmacross to Knocknacran gypsum quarry to see the late Glacial & post-Glacial beds exposed there (all my notes under date of 1.7.1944!) & then back to Dublin about 7 P.M. via Carrickmacross, Ardee & Drogheda. Insects swept off or around birch on cut-away bog just E. of Essexford, but in Co. LH. Campoplegids 2 = Apanteles ♀︎ A. ♀︎. Proterops nigripennis (♀︎?) swept off birch, S. of road. Plenty of Osmunda regalis seen in bog holes & Brunker reported Rhyncospora [[Rhynchospora]] alba further to east. Pezomachus ♀︎ - ant. 22. bred from a spider's egg-bag by E.S.A. Baynes: probably from Glenageary: Co. Dublin July 1949.
