" M. Du Chaillu has fairly earned the distinction of being the most successful 

 zoological traveller of the present time." — Philadelphia Academy nf Natural 

 Sciences. 



"M. Du Chaillu has not only added greatly to the pre-existing acquaintance 

 with the launa of South Africa, but has by his clear and animated descriptions, 

 convinced us that he has been as close an eye-witness of the habits of the gorilla 

 and his associates as he has proved himself to be their successful assailant." — 

 iSiV Roderick Murcliison. 



" AI. Du Chaillu's Collection is the most interesting illustration of the lower 

 creation that has ever reached Europe, and has added considerably, and in very 

 important respects, to our knowledge." — Frofessor Owen. 



" M. Du Chaillu has struck into the very spine of Africa, and has lifted the veil 

 of the torrid zone from its western rivers, swamps, and forests. He has found 

 therein a variety of new types of living creatures, and others which were only 

 partially and imperfectly known." — The Times.
