62 LIST OF FLIES. 
are a red brown freckle, and dim transparency ; they often 
stand erect, and seem jointed to two short tufts, which 
stand upright on the head. They hatch this month, in the 
middle of the day, and are out in the evenings; they are 
often met with under broad leaves by the water sides. 
Wings selected from the landrail, or a red or yellow dun 
hen ; body, copper-colored silk, tinged with water-rat’s fur ; 
legs, a cream-colored hen hackle, or light hairs from the 
hare’s ear. 
73RD.—VERMILLION DRAKE.—Length, near a quarter ; 
wings, near a quarter, which, with the legs and whisks, are 
of a dim light (almost white) transparency ; shoulders and 
body a light lemony ground of dim transparency, touched and 
pencilled on the upper parts with a rich vermillion red. 
She hatches about the middle of this month, on warm sunny 
afternoons, and continues into July. She casts her skin; 
which takes with it the vermillion touches, when her body 
and shoulders are of a rich lemon or straw color; wings, 
clear and glassy, with pinky sparklings. She is a pet of 
summer, not very numerous, and probably of no use to the 
angler ; her delicate texture and colors are bad to imitate, 
Small straw or lemon colored silk, and a small white 
pinky cock’s hackle, for legs and wings. 
747H.—Dark PieD Dun.*—Full length three-eighths ; 
length about a quarter; feelers near five-eighths, spotted 
light and dark. Wings a very dark dun, almost black, 
with two small white lines on the upper, and two on the 
lower edge of each ; and, when folded, the upper lines join 
and form two small white stripes across the back, tinged 
(39) Iam inclined to think that this fly is intended to represent the ‘ Black 
Silver-horns’’ of Jackson, and that the following fly, No. 75, is the variety 
with a bright jet black wing which Mr. Ronalds states is found upon some streams; 
Jackson styles the latter ‘‘ The Shining Black Silver-horns;’’ I have met with them 
both on the Yore, near Masham, but on no other Yorkshire river. Mr. Francis states 
that this fly is a favourite with the fish in the north of France, but I have never had 
great sport with it myself.
