W. (Able Canoeman, Master of Wood- 
craft, University of the Woods), there 
appeared a delicate little fly of the or- 
der Plecoptera, with light green body, 
green legs, and translucent greenish 
wings, size No. 15—Mr. Chloroperla 
bilineata. The only thing I had that in 
any way resembled it, a single No. 12 
Apple Green, and the resemblance was 
not so very close after all, was taken 
repeatedly. I found also on many 
ponds a little fly of the order Diptera 
’ with a black body, ringed yellow, and 
transparent wings, size No. 14, and 
used with good results the Partridge 
and Yellow, and also one of Alcock’s 
hackle-point-winged confections, known, 
I believe, as “The Queen of Sheba.” 
Of the Ephemeridae which appear in 
the Sourdnahunk country in June, I 
might mention several of the order 
Siphlurus, such as the S. typicus, brown 
body, ringed light brown, dark thorax, 
large eyes, long narrow translucent 
wings, and two setae, size No. 12, and 
S. alternatus, which has a brown body, 
ringed yellow, and long narrow slatey- 
grey wings, size No. 12, for both of 
which the Quill Gordon, L. S., answered 
well. Then there were various mem- 
bers of the genus Heptagenia with their 
characteristic yellow bodies, such as the 
H. verticis, which has_ translucent 
wings, mottled with greyish-green, size 
No. 12, somewhat resembling the Little 
Yellow May Dun; and another whose 
species name cannot be given, which has 
a yellow body, ringed brown, and trans- 
lucent wings with markings of slatey- 
grey, regularly spaced, size No. 12. 
When these duns were up, and they 
hatched profusely about the middle of 
June, almost any yellow-bodied fly 
(Queen of the Water, Yellow Sally, 
Flight’s Fancy, etc.) would be taken, 
for yellow is the predominant feature 
of them all, as it is of the Leptophlebia 
(mollis?), yellow body, dun wing, size 
No. 15, which often came up. 
About the third week of July there 
appeared in great numbers, before sun- 
rise, on Daicey, an extremely small dun, 
body grey, wings light-dun, head red- 
dish-brown, two setae, size No. 17 
(Baetis pygmea, the smallest of the 
mayflies) and Milward’s No. 15 Blue 
Upright, wet, but made to float with 
Cerolene, proved to be just the thing. 
The small winged black-ants that 
sometimes made Kidney Pond so ex- 
citing last year did not appear this 
summer, but in June several times I 
found another interesting member of 
the order Hymenoptera, body black, 
ringed white, wings translucent and 
mottled, size No. 12. It made quite a 
mouthful for the trout, for its body was 
rather large compared to its wings. 
Having nothing closer than one of Al- 
cock’s hackle-point-winged nondescripts 
which happened to have a_ black-and-
