 A POPULAR EDITION 



OF 



THE NATURALIST 



ON 



THE RIVER AMAZONS. 



WITH 



ADVENTURES DURING ELEVEN YEARS OF TRAVEL. 



BY 



H. W. BATES. 



"These volumes are replete with interest and novelty from the 

 beginning to the end. Mr. Bates has made every naturalist greatly 

 his debtor.^' — British Quarterly JReview. 



" We can truly say that it has never been our fortune to meet 

 with such a mine of Natural-History wealth." — Zoologist. 



"A book of great value. Mr. Bates belongs to the small class 

 of men who deserve the earnest gratitude, not only of their own 

 country, but of the civilized world." — Spectator. 



" The keenness of Mr. Bates^ powers of observation appears to 

 rival even that of the great Humboldt, for we can hardly conceive 

 of the existence of anything in the vast Amazon region which has 

 not in some manner been alluded to. "While passing over his 

 pages, we became almost insensible to surrounding objects, and well 

 nigh fancied we were wandering through the mighty forests of 

 Brazil. It has never been our lot to divide the pages of a more 

 interesting or instructive work." — Popular Science Review.
