Original material
As written in the book:
Tag, tail, and body as before, merely changing black pig*s wool for the blue. The hackle is the same, but is dressed over the whole of the black wool (or half the body); wing, one tippet, with bright peacock over it, shoir jungle-cock on either side as before.
Note, before: Tag, two turns of silver tinsel; tail, one topping and some sprigs of tippet; body, one turn of bright orange brown, continued with yellow half-way up, and the remaining half with medium (inclining to light) blue, pig's wool, rough and well picked out; broadish silver tinsel; black hackle, pretty thick, but only laid on at the shoulder; wing, bright mottled peacock wing, with a shortish jungle-cock on either side, rather better than half the length of the wing.
