THE BLACK DRAKE 



Is the male Green Drake metamorphosed. Its 

 term of existence is about the same as that of 

 the female above mentioned. It is smaller than the 

 female, and very much darker, and is erroneously 

 supposed by some, who call him the Death Drake, 

 to kill her. He is never in season without her ; 

 but is not here represented because he is not so 

 fat and tempting a bait.
