CONCLUSION.

climate, never become to any extent a resort for 
tourist voyagers. It will be left for the few 
who must dwell in it at the call of duty, or who 
travel through it urged by enthusiasm. Neither 
stimulus buoyed me up ; I have simply been the 
voluntary companion of an ardent lover of 
Nature, the reflex of whose happiness I could 
not avoid sharing. But as long as memory 
lasts, pictures of face and form, of sight and 
sound, of day and night, of land and sea, will 
rise at call or flit before my vision ; the remem- 
brance of my sufferings will grow dimmer under 
tbe softening hand of time ; and I shall be able 
to say, what I now only faintly realise, that they 
are not worthy of mention beside the value of 
my experience as a Naturalist's companion in 
his roamings in Insulinde. 
THE END.
