Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Life in British Guiana This volume is intended to be the first of a popular series on the Animal Life of British Guiana. It deals with the Mammals and Passerine Birds only, the latter including the great bulk as well as the com monest of the Colony Birds. During recent years while the writer was connected with the British Guiana Museum, he has been so frequently appealed to for information on the Natural History of the Colony, that it has seemed desirable to issue some such Work, in which in a popular and compact form such local information may be found. The work by no means aims at being complete, the more obvious features being chiefly described. To have done otherwise would have necessitated volumes of quite a different character. Without technicalitv other than the giving of the scien tific names of the species which are necessary to make the work of any real value, it is hoped that it will be a record of interest as well to the general reader as to the student. If it so proves, the object of the writer Will have been attained, and other volumes willfollow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under the Roof of the Jungle: A Book of Animal Life in the Guiana Wilds I climbed up among the tangle of lianas and vines and rootlets into the very roof of the jungle, and still higher to where I could look out; and watched the sun set over the jungle: and the birds and beasts and reptiles of the day disappeared and the night wanderers came forth. I did very little shooting, for I have always found much greater interest in watching the actions of the live creatures than in the study of their dead bodies. I have tried to fill in a few of the more plainly marked outlines and possibly even a few of the shades of the amazing landscape, and herewith present in story form fourteen bits of detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tropical Wild Life in British Guiana, Vol. 1: Zoological Contributions From the Tropical Research Station of the New York Zoological Society This gift of expression is of value because it is based on a really phenomenal gift of both wide and minutely in tensive observation. The fundamental differences between the quality of his study and the quality of the study of the average closet museum worker can be illustrated by 'his oh servation of those queer South American game birds, the tinamous. Closet naturalists have long known that some of the tinamou had rough, and some smooth, tarsi. This fact awakened no curiosity in their minds, no desire to find out whether it was correlated with any difference in habits 'or life history. Thev simply treated it as justifying a termin ological decision as to whether it marked a genus or a sub genus; and examined the tarsus of each specimen with only sufficient care to enable them to decide the specimen-drawer into which it should be thrown.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Guiana: Or Work and Wanderings Among the Creoles and Coolies, the Africans and Indians of the Wild Country It was a cold, bleak morning in November that the good Ship Incomparaele started out on her voyage of nearly five thousand miles. We were not many passengers, and so we soon became acquainted With each other. There was one person, however, whom we could not quite make out. He was neither an Officer Of the ship nor a passenger. And as he came down into the saloon regularly to dine with us we began to speculate as to who and What he might be. On inquiry we found that his work was a most important one. He had been sent on board to adjust the compasses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text.

General Considerations--Mammals--Warracaba Tigers--The Colours of Birds--Bird-notes--Chief Forms of Birds--Scenes of Bird-Life--Reptiles--Alligators--Iguanas -- Snakes--Turtles--Fish--The Dangers of Bathing -- Insect Plagues -- Butterflies --Beetles --Ants--.Wasps-- Mosquitoes-- Sandflies -- The Mosquito Worm--Jiggers -- Bush-Ticks -- Spiders--Centipedes--Scorpions. In a tropical country so varied as regards physical features as British Guiana, and so sparingly inhabited by man, it will naturally be supposed that animal life, both in its beautiful and its baneful forms, is very abundant. This is indeed the case; but yet animal life is not in any marked degree prominent, nor, with the exception perhaps of insect ravages, is it in any way troublesome. It is not surprising that the ordinary colonist, who generally lives in the more inhabited parts of the coast land, should not see much wild animal life around him; but the traveller in the interior, even if he is in search of wild beasts, cannot avoid a feeling of surprise that so few of these present themselves unsought to his notice, and that he has to search so diligently before he finds others. The untravelled man, living in temperate climates, while he overcolours in his mind the picture of the brilliant birds, insects, and animals, thinks with horror, not only of the powerful savage animals-- which are probably represented in his mind by beasts of prey and by gigantic or venomous serpents--but also of the thousand annoying insects and other such small cattle, which, as he imagines, everywhere lie in wait for the traveller, or even the dweller, in the tropics. If these imaginations were; 'TROPICAL FALLACY' OF ANIMALS. 107 anywhere near the truth, it would indeed...
