No. 25. Black palmer-hackle* Body, black 

 ostrich harl, ribbed with gold twist ; black cock's 

 hackle wound over the whole. Hook, Nos. 4 5 5,

 tied on two hooks, whipped lengthways, bend to 

 shank, on the gut. 



No. 26. Brown palmer-hackle. Body, brown 

 floss-silk, or brown fur, or mohair of a deep am-

No. 27. Red palmer-hacJde. Body, dark red-

 fur intermixed, to be ribbed with gold or silver 

 twist ; legs, a blood-red cock's hackle. Hook, as
