36 LIST OF FLIES. 
They wing and wheel over the whole face of the water in 
dry and warm times, rousing the fish ; when the best imit- 
ation cannot work. Like the small midge and gnat tribes, 
they may trifle away time, but do little for the pannier. 
32ND.—-BLOA Brown.—Full length, near or about half 
an inch; length, three-eighths ; wings, three-eighths, which, 
when folded, are of a light grizzly blue tinge, and when 
looked through are glassy and colorless, with small veins, 
and a dark patch or blot on the outer edge. Head, shoul- 
ders, and body, a brown orange tinge ; legs, a brown amber 
dim transparency. Is about the substance of the early 
brown, and commences hatching early this month. 
Snipe bloa feather from under the wing ; yellow or orange 
silk, with a few fibres of ambry-brown mohair at the 
breast. 
33Rn.—LITTLE DARK DRAkE.—Length about a quarter; 
wings, a quarter or better, altogether of the hue of the 
water-hen’s breast. When held up to the light the middle 
joints of the body shew lighter, like the iron blue, but the 
iron blues are a blue grey, and the little dark drake a dim 
red. Eyes dark and cockling. She commences hatching 
about the middle of this month, and continues through the 
summer ; then she casts her skin and becomes the little red 
drake. 
Winged and legged with a small feather from the water- 
hen or water-rail ; body, orange silk, waxed. 
34TH.— LITTLE Rep DRake.—Length, a quarter ; wings, 
a quarter or better, clear and transparent, with red tinges 
and reflections ; shoulders, red; body, a red lemony dim 
transparency ; eyes, red brown, large, and goggling. Long 
whisks, which stand square, and long fore-legs, of a red 
light-brown dim transparency. Muster in groups towards 
evening.
