Abstract
THIS work is so well known, and has long held so high a place among scientific books of travel, that it is unnecessary to do more than note the appearance of a new edition. It is clearly printed on good paper, and the illustrations are well reproduced. The introductory memoir by Mr. Clodd is a most welcome record of the main facts of Mr. Bates's career. The materials for this interesting sketch were enriched by letters placed at the author's disposal by Sir Joseph Hooker and Mr. Francis Darwin. An excellent portrait of Mr. Bates is included in the volume.
The Naturalist on the River Amazons.
