JUNGLE PEACE 



By WILLIAM BEEBE 



"This is a wonderful book— a book of 

 Nature's miracles . . He is the Maeter- 

 linck of open-air science working in the 

 least known of natural wonderlands." 



" It is impossible even to give a catalogue 

 of the new visions of wonderment . . . 

 which he conjures up on every page.** 



Morning Post. 



"I should have missed something good if 

 I had never seen * Jungle Peace.' ** 



Westminster Gazette, 



" In it are records of extraordinary scientific 

 interest, in language which has all the charm 

 of an essay of Robert Louis Stevenson. He 

 tells of bird and beast and plant and insect, 

 of the hoatzin, a bird out of place in the 

 modern world, a bird which comes down 

 unchanged from a time when birds merely 

 fluttered instead of flying— and had only 

 recently learned to flutter instead of gliding. 

 Whatever he touches he turns into the gold 

 of truth, rightly interpreted and vividly set 

 forth— as witness his extraordinary account 

 of the sleeping parlour of certain gorgeous 

 tropic butterflies.*' — The late Theodore Roosevelt 

 in a review of the American Edition.
