THE queen and empress reign harmonious, and shine resplen- 
dent in the gilded sides of the fatted trout! The travelling 
stream presents its daily stores, and nightly forages gorge

bodies, viz., ‘‘ copper-coloured silk tinged with water-rat’s fur.” Mr. Francis is of 
opinion that the fish feed principally upon these insects in the caddis state, but that 
at times they may prove useful in the evening.
