24.5.52, cont.  Attanagh & River Nore, Co. QC.

King's Bridge station & took 9.30 AM train to Attanagh in order to visit River Nore & obtain specimens of the pearl mussel Margaritana durrovensis Phillips, in which we were successful in obtaining 25 living & about 100 dead shells but no young ones.  These were nearly all obtained by Payne & Bartolomé who put on shorts & waded up the river in 2 to 3 feet of water.  This was 1/4 to 3/4 mile above Attanagh Bridge & below the place where R.A. Phillips, Charles Oldham, Robt. J. Welch & I got specimens in Oct. 1926.

I did a little sweeping on left (east) bank of R. Nore before lunch & after lunch when sun was hidden by clouds & many more small hymenoptera were about.
