They are derived from " Ronald's Fly-fishers' Entomology," with colored plates ; a very ex- cellent work. The only variation I have made has been to substitute the feather of an American bird whenever I knew any suitable. Un- fortunately this is not the season for palmers or caterpillars; and, not having the insect or patterns, I am unable to give as many as I could wish, as they are excellent troht-killers, especially after a flood.
