D. E. Kimmins — Second Revised Edition, 1972
A specialist work of British freshwater entomology, devoted to the identification of adult mayflies and their ecology.
Originally published in 1954 and revised in 1972, D. E. Kimmins' identification key forms part of the respected scientific publications of the Freshwater Biological Association.
The book provides systematic keys to the adult stages of British Ephemeroptera, accompanied by detailed scientific illustrations and ecological observations.
Mayflies have occupied a central place in the history of fly fishing. Their emergence, appearance and behaviour have inspired generations of fly dressers and trout anglers, from Alfred Ronalds to the great exponents of the British dry-fly tradition.
Although primarily intended for the naturalist and freshwater biologist, Kimmins' work offers the thoughtful fly fisherman a deeper understanding of the insects that have shaped so many traditional artificial fly patterns.
This copy is the second revised edition, published in 1972, as Scientific Publication No. 15 of the Freshwater Biological Association.
An interesting addition to a collection of classic angling entomology, particularly alongside the works of Alfred Ronalds and T. T. Macan.
