 on the body, and are made of a feather from the

 water unless driven there by high winds. 



STONE FLY. No. 5. 



In the beginning of April the Stone Fly escapes

 name is derived. It is seldom in perfection before 

 the beginning of May. The wings, which are four 

 in number, lie flat on the back, and are made of a 

 dusky blue cock's hackle, or a mottled feather from
