3 July 1911 – 9 July 1911

In the afternoon went out dredging in fifteen fathoms off the pier at I----, but without much success.... Got a large number of interesting things, however, in the tow net, including some advanced eggs of Loligo and a Tomopteris....

Went to the trout stream again. After stretching a muslin net crosswise on the water for insects floating down, sat on the footbridge and read Geology for the Dublin Examination. Later, waded downstream to a hazel bush on the right bank beneath a shady oak. Squatted right down on the bush, which supported me like an arm-chair--and, with legs dangling in the cool water, opened a Meredith and enjoyed myself.
