Artificial Flies 391 



Blue Professor. — Tail, scarlet ibis ; body, bright 

 blue silk ; legs, brown hackle ; wings, lead color. 



Cinnamon. — Tail, two fibres of cinnamon-col- 

 ored feather; body, cinnamon silk floss ribbed 

 with silver tinsel ; legs, brown hackle ; wings, 

 cinnamon color. This fly is sometimes dressed 

 with peacock-herl body, and is then called cinna- 

 mon with peacock body. A good cinnamon- 

 colored feather is very difficult to obtain. The 

 wings and tail of the Bird of Paradise are the only 

 good colored ones the writer knows of. The name 

 sounds expensive, but in reality these birds are 

 cheap, as, after the said plumes have been pulled 

 out for millinery purposes, the bodies become 

 worthless, and may be purchased for a few cents. 



Lowery. — Tag, yellow silk ; body, peacock 

 herl ; legs, brown hackle ; wings, cinnamon color. 



Jungle Cock. — Tail, scarlet ibis ; body, red, 

 ribbed with gold tinsel ; legs, claret hackle ; wings, 

 jungle cock rump hackle. 



Epting. — Tail, two or three fibres of ginger 

 hackle ; body divided in three joints, lower joint, 

 red silk floss, middle joint, orange silk floss, and 

 upper joint, bright yellow silk floss, all ribbed 

 with gold tinsel; legs, black hackle; wings, wid- 

 geon or teal.
