lodging, came home in the afternoon and found me 

 sound asleep and perspiring famously. I did not wake 

 till towards midnight, when I felt very weak and aching 

 in every bone of my body. I then took as a purga- 

 tive, a small dose of Epsom salts and manna. In forty- 

 eight hours the fever left me, and in eight days from 

 the first attack, I was able to get about my work. 

 Little else happened during my stay, which need be 

 recorded, here. I shipped off all my collections to Eng- 

 land, and received thence a fresh supply of funds. It 

 took me several wrecks to prepare for my second and 

 longest journey into the interior. My plan now was first 

 to make Santarem head-quarters for some time, and 

 ascend from that place the river Tapajos, as far as prac- 

 ticable. Afterwards I intended to revisit the marvellous 

 country of the Upper Amazons, and work well its 

 natural history at various stations I had fixed upon, 

 from Ega to the foot of the Andes.
