102 THE GREAT CRESTED COQUETTE. 



The river forms a line of division between 

 one tribe of creatures and another. 



The monkeys that live in the forest on 

 one side of the river diifer from the mon- 

 keys on the other side. Thus the river is 

 like a sea that divides territories and races 

 one from the other. 



Here are two separate regions teeming 

 with different occupants. And, as if still 

 further to keep up the resemblance to the 

 ocean, the hoarse cry of the Petrel and 

 the Sea-mew is heard ; and they dart 

 along the water and skim the waves, as 

 though they mistook them for the briny 

 deep !
