Excerpt from The Ooelogist, Vol. 35: Birds, Nests, Eggs, Taxidermy; January August, 1918 This remarkable volume sets an entirely new pace in the study of wild life. The three naturalist authors went to a South Amer ican jungle that was teeming with animal life, lived there under most advantageous conditions, and for several months indulged in a genuine orgy of observations and studies of tropical wild life as that life was lived and developed from day to day. The key note was the evolution and development of interesting and little known forms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
