A Naturalist in North Celebes; 



A NARRATIVE OF TRAVELS IN MINAHASSA, THE SANGIR 

 AND TALAUT ISLANDS, 



WITH NOTICES OF THE FAUNA, FLORA, AND ETHNOLOGY OF 



THE DISTRICTS VISITED. 



By SYDNEY J. HICKSON, 



M.A. (Cantab.), D. Sc. (Lond.), F.Z.S., Fellow of Downing College, Camb. 

 With 2 Maps and 36 Illitstraiions. %vo. i6j. 



' ' Dr. Hickson ranks as the naturalist-historian of Malay Archipelago, and is an undoubted 

 authority on corals and the general fauna of tropical seas. Hut he is more than a naturalist — 

 he is an ethnologist and a folklorist of high value. This work is a valuable, conscientious, 

 and pleasantly written addition to the libraries of all who, with ' Childe Harold,' 'converse 

 with Nature's charms, and view her shores unrolled. ' The maps are of especial value." — 

 Daily Telegraph. 



"Mr. Hickson has the proper scientific attention that bends itself to everything, that 

 overlooks nothing, that is as much taken up with the casual spider and flv as with the con- 

 stant coral. And the result, of course, is that all his observations are fresh and piquant." — 

 Scot^ Observer. 



" Dr. Hickson is one of the most eminent naturalists of the day : and the scientific results 

 of his visit, some four years ago, to the Malay Archipelago are of undoubted value. Like 

 Darwin and Wallace, he can make his science entertaining as well as instructive ; and the 

 volume in which he describes his travels in North Celebes and his residence on a small island 

 a few miles from the mainland is as fascinating as a romance. He speaks with high approval 

 of the Dutch, and gives us a pleasant glimpse of their official and domestic life." — T/ie

The Viking Age. 



THE EARLY HISTORY, MANNERS, AND CUSTOMS OF THE 

 ANCESTORS OF THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING NATIONS. 



ILLUSTRATED FROM 



THE ANTIQUITIES DISCOVERED IN MOUNDS, CAIRNS, AND BOG.c, 

 AS WELL AS FROM THE ANCIENT SAGAS AND EDDAS, 



By PAUL B. DU CHAILIiTJ, 



Author of " E.xplorations in Equatorial Africa," " Land of the Midnight Sun," &c. 

 With 1360 Illustrations. 2 Vols. Svo. 42s. 



" The ' Land of the Midnight Sun,' important and entertaining as it was, turns out to Iiave 

 been a mere popular forerunner to this monument of scholarlike study and indefatigable 

 observation. The ' Viking Age ' represents the result of enthusiastic toil, i^rolonged over eijiht 

 years. No one who examines the volumes can doubt that the result justifies the sacrifice." — 

 Standard. 



" Mr. du Chaillu has been eight years preparing these volumes, and we are glad to bear 

 testimony to the fact that his labour has not been in vain. In a variety of instances we have 

 compared his translations with the Icelandic te.\t, and in each case have found him trust- 

 worthy." — Saturday /Review. 



" Mr. du Chaillu has popularised an e.vceedingly difficult and yet most fascinating .subject. 

 His arguments are very con\Tncingly set out. The student of comparative religion and of 

 Christian progress, the inquirer into folk lore, the anthropologist, and the socialist will all find 

 matter for reflection." — Record. 



" In conception and execution it does credit to his long and laborious study of the subject, 

 and it provides a standard volume which cannot fail to arouse a more general and intelligent 

 interest in the Vikings. His publishers are also to be congratulated on their enterprise,"and 

 the artistic finish with which the volume has been produced. "^iVc/Z/V; CiCflgrafhica I Magazine.
