Cknclus — A bird that has the habit of moving its tail. 
Aquaticus —Pertaining to water. 
As you wade down the peerless Wharfe, the Queen of 
Yorkshire rivers—Bolton Abbey stands upon its bank, and 
the waters that have flowed past Kilnsea* Crag and now lave 
the foundations of the beautiful ruin, are shortly pent in by 
the memorable ‘Strid’—as you wade down the ‘Lordly Wharfe* 
in the month of October, fly-fishing for grayling, and watch 
the Dipper fronting you with his snow-white breast, now 
dipping up and down on some little island stone, now walking 
into and disappearing under the water, now emerging and 
crossing to the land, and now, like a Kingfisher, flying 
straight past you up the stream; as you rise a fish, or perhaps 
two at once, and again pass on, and look around you on 
Netherside, or Barden Tower, or Arthington Hall, or Harewood 
Castle, the bright sun shining above you, and the clear 
autumnal breeze invigorating your whole frame, you will say, 
if you have a mind for true enjoyment, 
‘Flumina amem sylvasque inglorius/ 
Seldom, however, is it that, except as a very rare relaxation, 
I can now myself follow this and the like pursuits; I have 
not forgotten, and have to remember ‘From henceforth thou 
shalt catch men/
