I am having trouble reading the hand writing...
I had a look at page 62 Vol 1. What name did he attribute to this knot?
What is the date?
It would be nice to get a typed translation of all of his handwriting...

I'm reading 'H's "Dalliance Knot"'
A date is written on the left side of page 61 - (1909).
Maybe.

Ha, you got right to it (A_S, in questioning) !
Bushby's source "H." is the big mystery for me,
and is clearly not what some of IGKT transcribers
put as "Hasluck" throughout, in footnotes; nor
is it their cited "Haslope".
[NB : it's best to indicate what >>page #s<< you're
using --those of the PDF presentation (which make
getting to them pretty easy), or Bushby's (which
admittedly are close to the other).
In this case, it's the latter.
]
That "1909" date clearly attaches to the work cited
with it, from scouting, not Mystery Source H. .
And, yes --as I noted elsewhere, some time ago--,
Bushby now ranks as first in presenting the
butterfly
knot, as he muses over the things otherwise given
for a middleman's knot by then-extant literature.
My best guess of "H." is :: "Knots and Knotting"
by P.L. Haslope, 1901(?) --a credit seen (GoogleBooks)
on the cover page of a later Haslope book on fishing.
But so far that most intriguing titled book hasn't come
onto anyone's radar, alas --and not on Des Pawson's,
who is a master book finder! We can only hope . . . .
