This book is based on his earlier book Floating Flies And How To Dress Them, which is incidentally probably more famous. The very useful entomological section in Dry Fly Entomology is larger due to the co-operation of the Rev. E.A. Eaton. The hundred best patterns were tied by George Holland of Winchester."
