Abstract
NO one who has a liking for natural history should omit to read Dr. Sachs' account of his adventures in the Llanos of Venezuela. German books of travel, though possessing a large amount of solid information, are often rather dry and heavy. But Dr. Sachs' volume is certainly an exception to the rule, and may, we think, be placed, as regards the interest of its narrative, nearly, if not quite, on a par with the well-known works of Bates and Wallace.
