About this book
At Kartabo, British Guiana, where the Cuyuni and Mazaruni rivers meet, William Beebe ran the tropical research station of the New York Zoological Society. This second set of his essays, after Jungle Peace, draws on the forest around it. Chapters watch army ants, a jungle clearing and beach, leaf-cutting ants at home, nights in a hammock and a bay of butterflies, while one essay describes the botanical gardens at Georgetown. An appendix gives the scientific names of the creatures mentioned.
