of an Orchid Hunter. 47 



Park rambler, or a tourist to the English lakes, might 

 think so scant a wardrobe scarcely sufficient to make 

 him presentable for a six months' journey ; but allow 

 me to suggest to anyone tempted, by business or 

 curiosity, to make a similar journey, to bear in mind 

 that dress-suits and tall hats are as much out of place 

 in a South American forest as a pig in a drawing- 

 room, and a wait-a-bit thorn is no respecter of persons 

 or material.
