The Evolution of the Featherwinged Salmon Flies - The Rangers continued

Almost as old as the Black Ranger, and presumably at least as old as the Durham Ranger is the Blue Ranger.  Our source for this assertion is William Henderson’s “My Life as and Angler” published in 1879 by W. Satchell, Peyton & Co. London. Page 310 shows a November 26, 1866 entry for a blue bodied Ranger, fished by William Henderson at Sprouston, for a salmon of 26lbs. 

Despite being an obviously successful pattern, I find only two authors actually have it listed with a pattern, and no one else even mentions it besides Mikael Frodin, our esteemed modern compiler of old patterns.
Listed below is the pattern by Francis Francis and its nearly identical twin by John James Hardy. 

Blue Ranger as per Francis Francis 1867
Tip: silver twist
Tag: golden silk
Tail: topping plus Indian crow
Butt: Black herl
Body: 2 or 3 turns golden floss, ditto bright fiery red pigs wool, remainder light blue pigs wool
Ribbing: silver and twist
Hackle: blue, a shade darker then body, from the middle of the wool
Throat: guinea
Wing: single pair of tippets, double jungle cock over, topping over all
Head: black

As this pattern only differs in minor details of tinsel and the jungle cock over the wing I did not feel it necessary to tie it again. 
Blue Ranger as per John James Hardy

What I find interesting about this pattern is the reversal of the Ranger-wing style.  Standard Ranger wings are a double tippet, staggered, over a long jungle cock pair back to back.  In Francis Francis, we see a single pair of tippets with double jungle over.  This I took to be a typographical error originally, but then I find that Hardy has copied it, possibly eliminating one of the pairs of jungle cock in the process, or realizing the possible error of Francis Francis, semi-correcting it.  This sort of thing is sometimes difficult to judge when authors insist on varying their descriptions.  In one pattern they will say two tippets back to back, or a pair of tippets, or four tippets, or two tippets Ranger style.  Some authors will sometimes describe a pattern as if they were only looking at one side or as if it had only a one sided wing, then in the next pattern will describe it with both sides.  It is obvious to me that as often as not, they were simply copying from earlier sources in some cases, and from a fly in hand in others.  I would venture to guess that where the pattern looks as if it is being described with only one side, that this is from a fly held in hand.  This ambiguity in patterns however can make for much nail biting, or for allowing a lot of fun in trying to recreate the patterns as per original intent.
