324 ROD AND RIVER 



The ' horns ' are two long fibres, placed over 

 and above the wing, and are usually taken from 

 the tail of the blue macaw the feathers of which 

 are blue on the upper and yellow on the lower 

 side. 



The ' head ' is generally formed of black ostrich 

 herl, black worsted, or simply varnished. 



I think, and trust, that the above description 

 will enable the reader to recognise without diffi- 

 culty the several parts of a salmon-fly.

 the most part, none but those patterns which bear 

 the highest reputation. The dressings given are
