Nothing is more hopelessly confusing than 

 the dun series, and nothing will better illustrate 

 the lack of scientific accuracy in the classifica- 

 tion of angling flies, to which we already have 

 alluded. The Iron Blue Dun, Pale Blue Dun, 

 and Evening Dun artificials have been listed as 

 one and the same. Yet David Foster classed 

 the natural duns in two distinct species. (The 

 August Dun or Brown is not a dun at all but 

 a drake, and is one of the large-brown range, 

 progeny of the Great Red -Spinner.) The Blue 

 Dun is a phase of the Olive Dun (which is a 

 smaller insect than the browns). Other phases 

 of the same species, indicating more or less 

 definite color gradations whether due to changes
