Abstract
THE title of this book is somewhat misleading, as the author's “Wanderings” were of a very limited extent, embracing only a small portion of the south-east coast region of Patagonia. Its most important feature is the account given of the life of the ostrich-hunters, and it adds little to our knowledge of Patagonia in addition to what has been told us by Musters and the one or two others who have really “explored” more or less of the wild region. The author's story is pleasant to read.
