458 THE SALMON FLY. 



with leather. This one holds a much larger stock of materials, and is 

 quite enough for a spring, a summer, or an autumn outing. 



A third one, made by Kollason (Hatton Garden, London), has seven 

 trays and is of japanned tin, covered also in leather. The lower tray has 

 no partitions, and is three and a half inches deep. It is stocked with 

 parchment parcels of all kinds of feathers, such as Turkey, Bustard, etc., 

 also a set of tinsels in a tin air-tight box, fitting along the back. Above 

 these rests a hackle book, that just fits the tray. The second tray, three 

 inches deep, has one partition in the centre lengthways. On one side I 

 keep Pheasants' tails and Peacocks' wings ; while the opposite compart- 

 ment holds dyed Swan. The third tray, two and a half inches deep, has 

 one partition lengthways and one cross ways. The fourth is two inches 

 deep. The fifth and sixth, one and a half inches deep and still more 

 divided ; whilst the top tray, with a right and left lid, is partitioned for 

 every sized hook on right side, and with one narrow partition on the left 

 to hold tinsels and fly-making materials. The lid of the box is two 

 inches in depth, and holds a cardboard box divided into separate com- 

 partments for Seals' furs, as well as a parchment-book for special feathers. 

 These are held in by two revolving buttons at each end fixed to the box. 

 With this kind of box, properly stocked, the Angler should be able to 

 dress every sort of standard or nondescript pattern of the day. 



THE ROUND JAPANNED BOX FOR DOUBLE-HOOKED FLIES. 



Forrest's (Kelso) round japanned tin box is what I use for the 



double-hook flies. It has cork circles mounted on round cards, each 

 circle holding from ten to twenty flies according to size.
