diagram (Fig. 21). No. 17 being the yellow swan ; 

 No. 20 the peacock; (18) the blue swan; (21) 

 bustard; (19) green swan ; (22) golden pheasant 

 tail. Now there must be two of these " formed " 

 wings, one for either side of the fly, and the 

 feathers must be selected so as to lie naturally 

 and curve properly. In order to do this, those for 



the left side of the fly 

 must be selected from 

 the left side of the 

 bird, and those for 

 the right side of the 



fl y from the ri s ht side 



of the bird. Having 

 formed these two 

 wings, take one and 

 carefully adjust it on 

 the top of the plain 



turkey, overlapping slightly in length, and bind it 

 carefully (while holding it in position) with two 

 turns of the tying silk. The binding will pro- 

 bably pull the wing over to the side, when it 

 should be adjusted by gripping the butt ends of 

 the feathers which are beyond the part being 

 tied down, and pulling them into the correct 

 position. Now lay on the other side, and bind 

 down in like manner with two turns of the tying 

 silk (see Fig. 22). Take six fibres each of summer 

 duck (23) and peafowl (24) (see Fig. 23), and
