“Fascinating... 
I followed him 
with 
delight 
across the 
world.” 
—JOHN 
KIERAN 
By WILLIAM M. MANN 
Director of the National Zoo 
The Director o£ the National Zoo is one of the 
most beloved figures in Washington today, a 
leader among natural scientists, and a constant 
adviser to government and private naturalists, 
as well as a popular host and raconteur. Yet it is 
impossible to identify William Mann with any 
one spot on the globe or one set of associates. 
It is of the world and of his friends that he tells 
in his book. As the reader follows his travels and 
exults with him in his finds, thankful at times 
that rare and remarkable snakes, deadly and 
fascinating insects are met only through the 
printed page, it is plain that this gentle collector 
will now, by means of the book, add many more 
friends to his world-wide collection.
