Excerpt from Among the Indians of Guiana: Being Sketches Chiefly Anthropologic From the Interior of British Guiana IN July 1877 I first landed in British Guiana, and on Christmas Day, 1879, the intermediate two and a half years having been spent, in about equal proportion, in wandering among the Indians and in the chief town of the colony, I left the country, as I then thought, for ever. During the following two years, spent in England, when ever there came a perfectly fine day, whether in spring, summer, autumn, or in winter, and whenever I was able to spend those too rare opportunities of perfect life in wander ing over down-country, or through English lanes and woods, or by that ever pleasant river which runs past Oxford town, then I felt that the unspeakable pleasure of such a day surpassed by far all that the days, and all that the years, however pleasant, which a man may spend in the tropics can afford. But when, very much more often, gloomy days had to be endured, then my thoughts invariably turned westward, and I longed to be once more among the deep shadows and broken lights of the gigantic tropical forests, on the sunlit waters of the broad rivers, or on the rolling.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER V. ANIMAL LIFE. 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.

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...
