several days, and were apparently dead. 
Yet when they were pinned on cork 
they revived, and when they were 
visited were found sprawling about in 
quite a lively style.” 
But several kinds of predacious in- 
sects may be caught, actually, as fish 
are caught, by means of a rod and 
line. Go and visit some sheltered pool, 
where insects are now fast becoming 1 
active, under the influence of a summer 
sun, and having taken your station at 
the edge, furnished with a real rod 
and line, or some convenient substi- 
tute, attach to. the end of your line a 
fly, then draw it gently just above the 
surface of the water; many seconds 
will not elapse before Notonecla ylauca 
or some other voracious creature will 
pounce upon your fly, and, holding 
fast thereto, will enable you to draw 
it towards you, then to be transferred 
to your collecting- bottle. This mode 
of “fly-fishing” was practised last year 
on the banks of a small pond near 
Rei gate with astonishing success. 
May not some modification of it be 
serviceable for the capture of the larger 
dragonflies, and might they not equally 
be caught by means of a bait attached 
to the end of a line?
