21st July 1950. 

A fine day spoiled by heavy showers & very strong SE. wind along coast.

Left home in car (George, Daisy and I) at 10.40 and drove to Greystones where picked up John & Ana Palmer & then on to Buckroney dunes S. of Mizen Head, Co. WI. Ran into & through several showers on way & arrived

21.7.50, cont. Buckroney, WI., cont.

at Buckroney just as wind came in from SE. & formed a jam with torrential rain for 20 minutes.  Later cleared & fine hot sun, but wind so strong that collecting almost useless & around the lagoon, where I particularly wanted to collect, only 2 Dacnusids & a few Ichs taken in half an hour's sweeping.  Wind went back to SW. at 4 PM. when a slight jam formed & some drizzle ended collecting. 

Left Buckroney about 4.45, dropped the Palmers at Greystones & home at 6.30.

Collected by sweeping around lagoon & from mouth of outlet to Mizen Head.  Saw Scutellaria galericulata in flower (on edge) at NW. corner of lagoon & "an acre" of Scilla verna in seed on sward above rocks at S. side of Mizen Head.
