The attachment with a single slip knot in process of comple-

convenience), where a double-hook, bare, is represented as show- 

 ing more clearly the form of knot. I may here repeat that all 

 the sizes of my Limerick bend above No. 8 (' New ' Scale) can 

 be obtained double. 



An important improvement in the way of making the eyes of my 

 salmon hooks has recently been introduced at the suggestion of Mr. 

 J. A. W. Whitmore. That gentleman pointed out that any objections 

 which might be made to the eye of the hook on the ground of the 

 tapered end by possibly fraying against or cutting the gut, would 

 be obviated by manufacturing the eye with the tapered end turned 

 backwards along the shank, in the manner shown in the engraving, 



instead of being finished off abruptly as in the original pattern. 



This I think cannot but fail to be a decided advantage, and I 

 propose in future to have all the sizes of the " Pennell Limerick " 

 intended for salmon and grilse flies manufactured accordingly.
