 by fits from thence to the end of June ; and is commonly 

 made of the down of the fox-cub, which is of an ash 

 colour at the roots next the skin, and ribbed about with 

 yellow silk ; the wings, of the pale grey feather of a mal-

5. There is also a YELLOW DUN,' the dubbing of 

 camel's hair, and yellow camlet or wool, mixt, and a 

 white grey wing. 



6. There is also this month another LITTLE BROWN, 

 besides that mentioned before, made with a very slender 

 body; the dubbing of dark brown and violet camlet, mixt, 

 and a grey wing; which, though the direction for the 

 making be near the other, is yet another fly, and will 

 take when the other will not, especially in a bright day 

 and a clear water. 



7. About the twentieth of this month comes in a fly 

 called the HORSE-FLESH-FLY; the dubbing of which is 

 a blue mohair, with pink-coloured and red tammy mixt f 

 a light coloured wing, and a dark brown head. This fly 

 is taken best in an evening, and kills from two hours 

 before sun-set till twilight, and is taken the month through. 



MAY. 



And now, Sir, that we are entering into the month of 

 May, I think it requisite to beg not only your attention, 

 but also your best patience, for I must now be a little 

 tedious with you, and dwell upon this month longer than 

 ordinary ; which that you may the better endure, I must 

 tell you, this month deserves and requires to be insisted 

 on, forasmuch as it alone, and the next following, afford 



(I) YtlUn Dun. Dub with a small quantity of pale yellow crewel, mixed 

 with fox-cut down from the tail, and warp witli yellow; wing of a palish star- 

 haf ' faathtf. Take* from eight to eleven, and from two to four. See more of 

 tlie Yellow Bon in the Appendix, No. IV.
