mence hatching with the month, and are out in the day- 

 time and evenings. 



Wings, slips from a bloa brown feather from a snipe or 

 dotterell's wi^ng ; body, copper-colored silk, tinged with 

 water-rat's fur ; legs, a light gingery hen hackle or mohair. 



7 IST. JUMPER BEETLE. ^ Full length, about a quarter, 

 plump and thick ; head and eyes black ; shoulders red ; top 

 wings a brown red, and of amber transparency; under- 

 wings fine, of a bloa brown tinge and transpareny ; body, 

 a light red or amber ; legs notched, and a red brown color, 

 the hind ones long, and seem fixed low on the breast-plate 

 near the centre of the belly, as if for jumping, from which 

 they are named. They are most numerous about the mid- 

 dle of next month, and may be found out in the day time, 

 and often on spider webs. 



Head, black silk ; shoulders and body bright orange or 

 yellow ; wings, the amber part of a cock-pheasant's breast ; 

 and a light red brown hen hackle for legs. 



72ND. TUFTED DuN. 38 Full length, three-eighths or bet- 

 ter ; top wings covered with a light red brown down, which 

 fringes the edges, and are of a light red snuffy transparency. 

 Under-wings thin and fringed, of a bloa brown trans- 

 parency ; body, a blue dun, with light side lines ; legs, a 

 light stone color ; shoulders hairy, with a tuft on the top 

 of the head, which distinguish and name them. The feelers 



(37) " Wren-tail " of Ronalds, " Jumper " of Jackson. The latter remarks that 

 this insect is very abundant at hay -making time, when they sometimes get on to the 

 water and are taken by the fish. The best method of imitation is to wrap the 

 feather from a wren's tail hacklewise upon a body of yellow silk. 



(38) Another of the Phryganidae family, which I am inclined to think is inten- 

 ded for the " Cinnamon Fly," the body does not compare, however, with that of the 

 latter-named fly, but as I pointed out in a foregoing note (36), the author gives one 

 dressing for the bodies of nearly all this class, which is far from being correct. For 

 the body of the " Cinnamon Fly," Mr. Ronalds says fawn-coloured floss silk, tied on 

 with silk thread of the same colour ; Jackson, orange and straw-coloured silk ; and 

 Mr. Francis dark barm-coloured silk. This fly generally kills bst after a slight 

 shower.
