WORKS BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

 Bird of Paradise. A Narrative of Travel, witli Studies of Man and 

 Nature. With Maps and Illustrations. Ninth and Cheaper Edition. 

 Crown 8vo. 7s. &d. 



" The result is a vivid picture of tropical life, which may be read with unflagging 

 interest, and a sufficient account of his scientific conclusions to stimulate our appetite 

 without wearying us by detail. In short, we may safely say that we have never read 

 a more agreeable book of its kind." — Saturday Review. 



The Geographical Distribution of Animals. With a Study 

 of the Relations of Living and Extinct Faunas as Elucidating the 

 Past Changes of the Earth's Surface. 2 vols. 8vo, with Maps, and 

 numerous Illustrations by Zwecker. 42s. 



"Altogether it is a wonderful and fascinating story, whatever objections may be 

 taken to theories founded upon it. Mr. Wallace has not attempted to add to Its 

 interest by any adornments of style ; he has given a simple and clear statement of in- 

 trinsically interesting facts, and what he considers to be legitimate deductions from 

 them. Naturalists ought to be grateful to him for having undertaken so toilsome a 

 task. The work, indeed, is a credit to all concerned— the author, the publishers, the 

 artist, unfortunately now no more, of the attractive illustrations — last, but by no means 

 least, Mr. Stanford's map-designer." — The Times. 



Tropical Nature : With other Essays. 8vo. 1 2s. 



"Nowhere amid the many descriptions of the tropics that have been given is to be 

 found a summary of the past history and actual phenomena of the tropics which gives 

 that which is distinctive of the phases of nature in them more clearly, shortly, and 

 impressively," — Saturday Eeview. 



Island Life ; or the Phenomena and Causes of Insular 



Faunas and Floras, including a Revision and attempted Solution 

 of the Problem of Geological Climates. With Maps. 8vo. 18s. 



" ' Island Life' is a work to be accepted almost without reservation from beginning 

 to end. . . . Whoever reads this book must be charmed with it." — St. James's Gazette. 



"The work throughout abounds with interest." — Athenceum. 



"Mr. Wallace has written nothing more clear, more masterly, or more convincing 

 than this delightful volume." — Fortnightly Review.
