106 THE SALMON FLY. 



CHAPTEE IV. 



A LIST OF ABOUT 300 STANDARD FLIES WITH THEIR DRESSINGS 



(ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED). 

 EXORDIUM. 



SILK. Is intended for floss silk unless otherwise stated. 



HEEL. For Ostrich herl unless otherwise stated. 



WOOL. For Berlin wool. 



MALLARD. For the brown mottled feather unless otherwise stated ; and 

 when mentioned at the end of the list in company with, or in the 

 absence of, a topping, a right and left strip form the cap of the 

 wing. As a general rule, materials for the wing come upon the 

 hook in the same order as set forth in these descriptions. But 

 married strips of dyed feathers as, for instance, yellow, red, and 

 blue Swan, are sometimes built in the wing and sometimes on 

 the wing ; whilst similar strips of natural feathers as, say, Ibis, 

 Teal, and powdered blue Macaw, invariably serve as " sides," in 

 which case they are put on the wing immediately before 

 " cheeks," toppings, and horns. 



TIPPET. Is from the neck of the Golden Pheasant unless otherwise 

 stated. 



TOPPING. Is the crest feather of the Golden Pheasant. 



PARROT. Is green unless otherwise stated.
