bloa hue, except the legs, which show light. They are 

 hatching this month, and may be seen through the next and 

 into autumn, flying about the waters, at seven p.m.

79TH. DOTTEREL DUN. Full length, five-eighths; 

 length, three-eighths ; feelers half an inch ; head, breast, 

 shoulders, thighs, legs, and feelers, a dim honey dun tinge, 

 or the hue of the tawny part of hare's fur ; body the same, 

 but tinged leady ; wings not downy, and narrow, close more 

 cylindrical, like the browns, and answering in shade to the 

 outside of a dotterel's wing ; eyes dark or black. Hatches 

 early this month, and may be seen wheeling to and fro over 

 the water on fine evenings, at six p.m., through July. 



Body, etc., copper-colored silk, slightly tinged with water 

 rat's fur ; winged and legged with a dotterel's feather, or 

 winged with slips and a few fibres of mohair or hare's ear, 

 wrought in at the breast. 



80TH. BLACK ANT FLY. 43 Full length, about three- 

 eighths and one-sixteenth ; length near a quurter ; has two 

 pairs of wings, the top ones better than a quarter, under- 

 wings one-eighth and one-sixteenth, both stand on the 

 shoulder, one just behind the other ; the fore-legs are at 

 the breast of the same shoulder, the other four on the joint 

 next the body. The wings fold flat over the body, and 

 appear of a silvery whiteness, and glassy transparency, 

 with a few small dark veins ; head, shoulders, and body, a 

 black Japan color and brightness ; legs and feelers, dark 

 ale transparency. 



Wings, a silvery grizzle cock's hackle ; dark blood red 



(43) The imitation of this variety of the ant tribe is of little service to the 

 angler, and is consequently but seldom employed.
