\ This remarkable volume sets an entirely new pace in the study 



J of wild life. The three naturalist authors went to a South Amer- ^ 



S ican jungle that was teeming with animal life, lived there under f 



most advantageous conditions, and for several months indulged in 



a genuine orgy of observations and studies of tropical wild life 



t as that life was lived and developed from day to day. The key- ^ 



<> note was the evolution and development of interesting and little <> 



known forms. 



The studies so beautifully revealed in this fascinating volume 



embrace such bird species as the wonderful tree-climbing hoatzin, I 



«? various toucans, tinamou, jacanas, anis, nighthawks, flycatchers, 9 



antbirds and many others. The reptiles were the giant marine 



toad, the deadly bushmaster, and alligators ; and great work was 



k done on the wasps. y 



DThe volume tells the whole story of the Research Station, its fj 

 work and surroundings. It shows how it will expand in the y 

 future, offering splendid opportunities for investigation to pro- 

 fessors, students and nature lovers. As a vivid exposition of trop- 

 ical life in a rich South American jungle, it is unique and un- 

 rivalled. The wealth of skillfully made photographs, colored 

 plates, maps and diagrams, brings the whole of the subject matter 

 into the readers grasp. 



Only 500 copies are available for sale outside the Society.
