84rH.—Licur Prep Dun.—Full length, about three- 
eighths and one-sixteenth. Top wings covered and fringed 
with a fine fawn-colored down, which glistens in the sun 
with coppery and gilded reflections, and are of a darkish 
red brown transparency. Feelers five-eighths, spotted rank 
light and dark ; forehead and legs white, with sprinklings 
of darker, and has white strokes on the wings, same as the 
dark pied dun ; body coppery, with a purple tinge. They 
are hatching this month ; numbers may be seen flying about 
and running on the battlements of North Bridge, at seven 
o'clock on fine evenings, to the end of August. 
Wings from the landrail or bronzy yellow-brown hen ; 
coppery silk for the body, slightly tinged, white for the 
head ; legged with a yellow white hen hackle or hairs from 
the hare’s ear.

ends of the feathers on the back of the yellow owl—and of 
a yellowish dim transparency ; under-wings plain bloa; 
thighs, legs, breast, and feelers a honey or dull copper color ; 
body, blue dun. Was taken from under a stone by the 
water's edge, just hatched, about the middle of this month, 
but has not been seen since. Is a fine fleshy fly, equal in 
size to the light and dark duns, of which it may be a 
variety. There is a smaller species, about half an inch full 
length, and nearly the same in colors, out at the same time. 
Wings may be found in the light freckled feathers of the 
mallard ; body copper-colored silk, tinged with water-rat’s 
fur ; and legged with a yellow dun hen hackle. 
86TH.—CORAL-EYED DrAke.—Length, near three- 
eighths ; wings the same, of a fine slaty bloa tinge ; legs, 
whisks, shoulders, and body, a dim amber ground and trans-
