and the cry of a Frog which we have not before heard. There 
were three or four of them and jtheyj called during the 
whole night. They made a noise which sounded exactly like 
the breathing puff of a huge engine when it is working 
very slowly a.nd (I think) sending the steam through the 
exhaust pipe. Chapman christened them 11 snorting" frogs 
but "breathing" seemed to me the better term. 
I forgot to mention the Tinamou, without whose 
voice no tropical scene could ever again fully satisfy me. 
At frequent intervals late in the afternoon and far into 
the twilight I heard his weird music from the mountain sides 
above the house, very near at times.
