"To me* as one «ho has always collected for musoums, hunted in far countries 
and studied nature in general over the best part of a lifetime* this is a very 
fascinating book* Dr* 15ann , s experiences in the field and elsewhere* during 
various steps by which he rose to fame as a scientist* make the kind of reading 
which anyone interested in natural soienoe, adventure* and travel cannot afford 
to miss* There is nothing dry about itj he has avoided anything that was stuffy 
in the oollootftig of insects* mammals* and reptiles* TTe has never overdraraatiaed 
the events and has missed no iota of the delightful humor which invariably 
characterises work of this kind* It is indeed an Odyssey*•
