128.)

18th June 1950. 

A nice morning, after some rain during night & slight skiffs during 16th-17th;  much warmer than the last four days.  

Left home at 10.20 & drove to The Devil's Glen, Co. WI., arriving about 11.45 (George, Daisy, Marcus Graham, & I.)

Started collecting as soon as left car but vegetation rather wet after a shower in night or early morning: very warm, some sun & promise of a lovely day.  But at 1 P.M. a slight shower heralded a jam & then heavy rain for an hour, then fine for a few minutes & then more rain, drip & more rain.  So left at 3 P.M. & home 4.15.  Rain most of the way & Dublin as wet as Devil's Glen — a most disappointing day!
