136 THE SCIENTIFIC ANGLEK. 



To take the various species of flies in their proper 

 order, we come next to the Pliryganeidm order, which 

 ranges as follows: 



February Red, or Red fly. The body of this fly is 

 dubbed with dark-brown mohair, mixed with claret- 

 colored mohair ; wings, from the hen pheasant, or dot- 

 terel wing feather ; legs, dark-brown feather from a pale 

 partridge's neck, or a cock's hackle of the same color. 



Sand fly. Body, fur from the back of a hare's neck 

 spun sparingly on pale orange silk; legs, a pale dull- 

 colored ginger hackle; wing, from a landrail's wing 

 feather. 



Cinnamon fly. Body, fur from a hare's neck, mixed 

 with a small portion of sable fur, spun on pale dull 

 orange-colored silk ; wings, from a brown hen's wing 

 feather ; legs, a pale dull ginger-colored cock's hackle. 



Gr annum, or Greentail. Body, fur from the hare's 

 neck, spun on fawn-colored silk, with two laps of green 

 floss-silk on the tail; legs, a pale ginger-hackle; wings, 

 the palest part of a hen pheasant's wing feather. 



The above being what are usually termed flat- wings, 

 should be dressed as in the old method, i.e., wings last, 

 so as to resemble the naturals. 



The Perlidm order ranks next. Some of these it is 

 best not to wing at all ; the dun hackle from the knobs 

 of wings of various birds forming an excellent substitute 

 for legs and wings when carefully wound on like an or- 

 dinary hackle. 



Stone fly. Body, dark-colored fur, spun with full yel- 

 low silk, to be ribbed with some silk of same color, un- 

 waxed ; wings, from the quill- wing feather of a cock 

 pheasant, or may be cut from a sheet of gutta-percha 

 (pure), dyed in cold blue dye ; legs, a black cock's hackle 

 stained yellow ; this, if rightly made will form an excel-
