2. Dubbed with purple mohair, ribbed with 

 gold twist, and red cock's hackle over all. 



3. Dubbed with the black strands off an os- 

 trich's feather, upon a hook the size No. 9. and 

 the wings off the lightest part of a starling's fea- 

 ther. 



A great killer after a shower of rain, especially 

 in an evening. 



4. Dubbed with light brown seal's hair, war- 

 ped with ash-coloured silk, and a red hackle over 

 all. 



5. Dubbed with seal's fur dyed red, and brown 

 bear's hair mixed together, but there must be 

 bear's hair sufficient to make the body appear of 

 a dullish red, ribbed with gold twist, the wings off 

 a scare's feather ; and red cock's hackle over the 

 dubbing. The hook, No. 7. 



This fly kills very well till the latter end of 

 August from six o'clock till twilight upon a dark 

 coloured zvater. 



6. Dubbed with the yellow off a spaniel, taken 

 from behind the ear, ribbed with gold twist, a red 

 hackle over all, and the wings off a starling's fea- 

 ther. The hook, No. 8 or 9. 



This fly kills exactly at the same time the other 

 spinner does, but when the, zoater is very clear.
