 TDLE DAYS IN PATAGONIA, By W. H. Hud- 



J- SON, C. M. Z. S., author of " The Naturalist in La Plata," etc. 

 With 27 Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, $4.00. 



"Of all modern books of travel it is certainly one of the most original, and many, 

 we are sure, will also find it one of the most interesting and suggestive." — Neiv York 

 Tribune. 



*' Mr. Hudson's remarks on color and expression of eyes in man and animals are re- 

 served for a second chapter, 'Concerning Eyes.' He is eloquent upon the pleasures 

 afforded by ' Bird Music in South America,' and relates some romaniic tales of white 

 men in captivity to savages. But it makes very little difference what is the topic when 

 Mr. Hudson writes. He calls up bright images of things unseen, and is a thoroughly 

 agreeable compamon,"^Pkz'iade^phza Ledger 



7^HE NATURALIST IN LA PLATA. By W. H. 

 Hudson, C. M. Z. S., author of " Idle Days in Patagonia," and 

 joint author of " Argentine Ornithology." With 27 Illustra- 

 tions. 8vo. Cloth, $4.00. 



" Mr. Hudson is not only a clever naturalist, but he_ possesses the rare gift of in- 

 teresting his readers in whatever attracts him, and of being dissatisfied with mere ob- 

 servation unless it enables him to jihilosophize as well. With his lucid accounts ol 

 bird, beast, and insect, no one will fail to be delighted." — London Academy. 



**A notably clear and interesting account of scientific observation and research. 

 Mr. Hudson has a keen eye for the phenomena with which the naturalist is concerned, 

 and a lucid and delightful way of writing about them, so that any reader may be 

 charmed by the narrative and tlie reflections here set forth. It is easy to follow him, 

 and we get our information agreeably as he conducts us over the desert pampas, and 

 makes us acquainted with the results of his studies of animals, insects, and birds." — 

 Neiv York Sun. 



'J^HE NATURALIST ON THE RIVER 

 J- AMAZONS, By Henry Walter Bates, F. R. S., late Assist- 

 ant Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society. With a 

 Memoir of the Author, by Edward Clodd. With Map and 

 numerous Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, $5.00. 

 " This famous work is a natural history k^2S&\c" —London Literary World. 

 " More than thirty years have passed since the first appearance of * The Naturalist 

 on the River Amazons,' which Darwin unhesitatingly pronounced the best book on 

 natural history which ever appeared in England. The work still retains its prime in- 

 terest, and in rereading it one Qan not but be impressed by the way in which the pro- 

 phetic theories, disputed and ridiculed at the time, have since been accepted. Such is 

 the common experience of those who keep a' few paces in advance of their generation. 

 Bates was a 'bom' naturalist." — Philadelphia Ledger, 



**No man was better prepared or gave himself up more thoroughly to the task of 

 studying an almost unknown fauna, or showed a zeal more indefatigable in prosecuting 

 his researches, than Bates. As a collector alone his reputation would be second to 

 none, but there is a great deal more than sheer industry to be cited. The naturalist of 

 the Amazons is, par excellence^ possessed of a happy literary style. He is always clear 

 and distinct. He tells of the wonders of tropical growth so. that you can understand 

 diem all." — New York Times.
