A warm day, but becoming dull in afternoon & rain later on approach of depression from N.W. In afternoon drove to St. Columba's College gate & walked up N. face of Kilmashogue to about 800 ft. & back to car. Wind W. strong. Saw many bee burrows on bare ground above the college, where sods had been cut near surface of granite rocks. 27th May '53. After a wet night, very warm, dull, with drizzle all forenoon. In morning went to see E.S.A. Baynes - British Trade Commissioner, Merrion Square - who gave me a beautiful Metopius dentatus bud 22 May 1953 from a larva of Bombyx quercus var. callunae sent him from Valentia Island, S. Kerry, by Mrs. – in spring of 1952. When received this caterpillar - and another one - were very large & nearly full grown & pupated in June 1952, although other callunae larvae being fed up by Baynes were only about an inch & a quarter long & did not pupate till August, as usual. He also gave me a ♀︎ Pimpla brevicornis recently received from Tory Island & sent by D.J. Sullivan. In afternoon we drove to Manor Kilbride, Co. WI., as the day had cleared when strong W. wind got up about 2 P.M. Everything very wet still in shelter & so could only sweep in windy places & so catch not as large as might have been.
