  This 
  invention 
  relates 
  to 
  books 
  used 
  for 
  carrying 
  fishing 
  flies 
  and 
  

   snelled 
  hooks, 
  and 
  is 
  to 
  prevent 
  the 
  flies 
  from 
  becoming 
  tangled, 
  and 
  

   to 
  permit 
  their 
  convenient 
  insertion 
  and 
  removal. 
  At 
  the 
  top 
  or 
  bottom 
  

   of 
  each 
  leaf 
  are 
  attached 
  metal 
  clips, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  opposite 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  

   leaf 
  are 
  retainers. 
  These 
  are 
  spiral 
  springs 
  attached 
  at 
  one 
  end 
  by 
  a 
  

   thread 
  sewed 
  into 
  the 
  material 
  of 
  the 
  leaf, 
  and 
  formed 
  at 
  the 
  other 
  end 
  

   with 
  an 
  eye 
  for 
  attachment 
  of 
  the 
  snell. 
  A 
  thread, 
  preferably 
  of 
  silk- 
  

   worm 
  gut, 
  passes 
  through 
  each 
  spring 
  to 
  a 
  point 
  below 
  it 
  and 
  through 
  

   the 
  leaf 
  to 
  and 
  through 
  the 
  spring 
  on 
  the 
  opposite 
  side. 
  This 
  holds 
  

   the 
  springs 
  in 
  place 
  when 
  the 
  flies 
  are 
  detached, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  

   allows 
  the 
  springs 
  to 
  stretch. 
  At 
  the 
  edges 
  of 
  the 
  leaves 
  a 
  re-enforcing 
  

   strip 
  of 
  metal 
  is 
  secured 
  between 
  the 
  two 
  sheets 
  to 
  protect 
  the 
  edges 
  

   and 
  stiffen 
  the 
  book. 
  The 
  clips 
  and 
  retaining 
  springs 
  may 
  be 
  alternated 
  

   on 
  each 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  leaf, 
  and 
  intermediate 
  retainers 
  applied 
  for 
  shorter 
  

   snells.

  A 
  box 
  is 
  divided 
  by 
  a 
  horizontal 
  partition 
  longitudinally 
  into 
  two 
  

   compartments, 
  each 
  compartment 
  being 
  provided 
  with 
  a 
  separate 
  lid. 
  

   The 
  compartment 
  shown 
  in 
  fig. 
  1 
  has 
  near 
  each 
  end 
  a 
  rigid 
  transverse 
  

   strip 
  of 
  less 
  depth 
  than 
  the 
  compartment 
  to 
  retain 
  in 
  place 
  a 
  strip 
  of 
  

   cork 
  placed 
  just 
  outside 
  of 
  it. 
  At 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  the 
  inside 
  of 
  the 
  com- 
  

   partment 
  is 
  a 
  shallow 
  well, 
  its 
  top 
  flush 
  with 
  the 
  inside 
  of 
  the 
  case. 
  The 
  

   well 
  is 
  of 
  sufficient 
  depth 
  to 
  contain 
  coiled 
  lines, 
  leaders, 
  &c, 
  which 
  are 
  

   held 
  in 
  place 
  by 
  two 
  strips 
  or 
  guards 
  which 
  cross 
  the 
  top. 
  The 
  points 
  

   of 
  the 
  hooks 
  are 
  stuck 
  into 
  the 
  cork 
  strips, 
  and 
  the 
  snells 
  to 
  which 
  the
