* Our meeting was accidental, but finding in each other a kindred spirit, we 

 arranged another meeting, and soon went out collecting at various places in Perak. 

 It was a great pleasure to me to find a brother naturalist, and I soon found out 

 that Doherty was no ordinary person. Besides his entomological knowledge he was 

 most wonderfully acquainted with the peoj)le of the East, from Asia Minor to the 

 Sunda Islands, and with their languages, history, religions, manners, and customs. 

 In every way he was a thoroughly educated man, knowing several European 

 languages, and English, German, and French literature to an astonishing degree. 

 In fact, Doherty was a most interesting and instructive talker on almost any subject. 

 No wonder, therefore, that I promised myself a charming time in his company, and 

 proposed that we should travel together for some time. This time was indeed one 

 of the most agreeable ones during all my travels, and 1 only regret that it had to 

 be so brief.
