Excerpt from The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation, 1957<br/><br/>While not quite so consistently wet as 1954 the summer just past could scarcely be called memorable for the amount of warmth and sunshine it provided. Though January and February were cold we had remarkably little snow  much less indeed than London and the Home Counties. March and April were generally fine and dry but temperatures were never high and frost was frequent. T'hese cool and dry conditions persisted until nearly the end of June and though there was considerable sunshine there was not any real warmth in it. July and August were much warmer but with the increased temperature came the retina  though again we seemed to have less rain and fewer wet days than those living in the south of the country. Winter stole upon us again in September and we come to the end of the season feeling that we have scarcely had any summer. But this is not a meteorological magazine though I feel that no excuse is needed for going into these details for they provide something of an apologia for what follows. For the convenience of these notes I propose to divide the paper into two parts, viz.  Field Work and Light-trap Results. The former was prosecuted when suitable weather and free time coincided (a rather rare occurrence) and the trap has been operated most nights when conditions seemed suitable and on many palpably unsuitable. While I have not had the time to keep full statistical results of the trapping I have kept notes of all species taken.
