 dark red mohair, ribbed with gold twist, and 

 warped with a blood red cock's hackle over the 

 whole ; the hook No. 6 or 7. 



Golden Palmer. 



The body of orange-coloured silk, ribbed 

 with peacock's herl and gold twist, and warped 

 with a red cock's hackle. 



Brown Palmer. 



The body of amber-coloured hog's down,

 and warped with a red cock's hackle. 

 Black Palmer. 



The body of black ostrich's herl, ribbed with
