bloa hue, except the legs, which show light. They are

79TH.—DOTTEREL Dun.—Full length, five-eighths ; 
length, three-eighths ; feelers half an inch; head, breast, 
shoulders, thighs, legs, and feelers, a dim honey dun tinge, 
or the hue of the tawny part of hare’s fur; body the same, 
but tinged leady ; wings not downy, and narrow, close more 
cylindrical, like the browns, and answering in shade to the 
outside of a dotterel’s wing ; eyes dark or black. Hatches 
early this month, and may be seen wheeling to and fro over 
the water on fine evenings, at six p.m., through July. 
Body, etc., copper-colored silk, slightly tinged with water 
rat’s fur ; winged and legged with a dotterel’s feather, or 
winged with slips and a few fibres of mohair or hare’s ear, 
wrought in at the breast. 
80TH.—BuLack Ant FLy.*—Full length, about three- 
eighths and one-sixteenth ; length near a quurter ; has two 
pairs of wings, the top ones better than a quarter, under- 
wings one-eighth and one-sixteenth, both stand on the 
shoulder, one just behind the other; the fore-legs are at 
the breast of the same shoulder, the other four on the joint 
next the body. The wings fold flat over the body, and 
appear of a silvery whiteness, and glassy transparency, 
with a few small dark veins ; head, shoulders, and body, a 
black Japan color and brightness ; legs and feelers, dark 
ale transparency. 
Wings, a silvery grizzle cock’s hackle; dark blood red 
(43) The imitation of this variety of the ant tribe is of little service to the 
angler, and is consequently but seldom employed.
