hoppers, &c.), Neuroptera (may-flies, &c.), and 

 Hymenoptera (bees, &c.). These are furnished 

 with mandibles. The Haustellata, which live by 

 suction, form five orders, as follows : 



Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies), Diptera 

 (oak-fly, &c.), Homoptera (cicada, &c.), Hete- 

 roptera (known as " heavy cavalry" &c.), and 

 Aphaniptera ("light infantry" &c.). These, 

 then, are our nine orders of insects, to be still 

 subdivided into families, genera, and species. 



To descend to minor matters, the hooks re- 

 ferred to below are those of Messrs. Hutchinson 

 and Son, Kendal (successors and late partners of 

 the famous Adlington), of the sneckbend form, 

 longs and shorts, with twoNos. of Grayling Hooks, 

 finer in the wire, and two of Double Hooks, for 

 Palmers, made expressly for this edition. Should 

 description, after all, fail to convey the minute 

 instruction requisite for the beginner, he is re- 

 commended to seek the aid of some proficient, 

 who will kindly examine and correct his first 

 essays at fly-making, and send him patterns to 

 copy with the exact materials for each fly. 1 



1 Mr. Edward Moore, of Stanton Ford, Baslow, Derbyshire, 

 kindly permits a reference to be made to himself, as willing to 

 afford assistance to the beginner, either by letter, or by receiving a 

 visitor into his house on the Derwent, and imparting a few practical 

 instructions by the water-side.
