36 SALMON AND TROUT. 
The following are specially designed for Eyed Trout flies :!— 
‘POCKET BOX’ FOR EYED TROUT-FLIES. (Bowness.} 
Japanned tin, oval, cork-lined. 34 inches long by 2% inches wide. 
Admirably adapted for carrying in the pocket a selection of flies for the day’s 
‘fishing. ‘The cork is, or should be, corrugated, or cut in grooves across and 
across. The same remark applies to all cork lined fly-boxes, as the flies very 
quickly lose their- hold 1n smooth or uncorrugated cork. 
EYED TROUT-FLY BOX. (Farlow’s Registered.) 
Japanned tin, divided with strips of cork, each strip supported in a tin 
groove to prevent its moving, and to enable the cork to be replaced when 
worn out. Weight of box, 6 oz. ; length, 6 inches; width, 3} inches; depth 
3 inch. when closed. : 
Arranged to hold seven dozen flies. 
The advantages of this box are that when the flies are fixed in the cork, 
the wings and hackles come between the divisions and so prevent crushing. 
\ Messrs. Bowness inform me that the best preservative for feathers and 
furs—and one which they always employ themselves—is ‘naphtholine,’ obtain- 
able from any druggist. “A’ few “pieces, “pea-size,’ will last several years. 
Camphor, which is what I have hitherto used, soon evaporates. d
