NOTE 
This second series of essays, following those in 
Jungle Peace, are republished by the kindness of 
the Editors of The Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s 
Magazine and House and Garden. 
With the exception of A Tropic Garden which 
refers to the Botanical Gardens of Georgetown, 
all deal with the jungle immediately about the 
Tropical Research Station of the New York 
Zoological Society, situated at Kartabo, at the 
junction of the Cuyuni and Mazaruni Rivers, in 
British Guiana. 
For the accurate identification of the more im- 
portant organisms mentioned, a brief appendix 
of scientific names has been prepared.
