IDLE DAYS IN PATAGONIA. By W. H. Hudson, C. M. Z. S., author of “The Naturalist in La Plata,” etc. With 27 Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, $4.00.
“Of all modern books of travel it is certainly one of the most original, and many, we are sure, will also find it one of the most interesting and suggestive.”—New York Tribune.
“Mr. Hudson’s remarks on color and expression of eyes in man and animals are reserved for a second chapter, ‘Concerning Eyes.’ He is eloquent upon the pleasures afforded by ‘Bird Music in South America,’ and relates some romantic tales of white men in captivity to savages. But it makes very little difference what is the topic when Mr. Hudson writes. He calls up bright images of things unseen, and is a thoroughly agreeable companion.”—Philadelphia Ledger.

THE NATURALIST IN LA PLATA. By W. H. Hudson, C. M. Z. S., author of “Idle Days in Patagonia,” and joint author of “Argentine Ornithology.” With 27 Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, $4.00.
“Mr. Hudson is not only a clever naturalist, but he possesses the rare gift of interesting his readers in whatever attracts him, and of being dissatisfied with mere observation unless it enables him to philosophize as well. With his lucid accounts of bird, beast, and insect, no one will fail to be delighted.”—London Academy.
“A notably clear and interesting account of scientific observation and research. Mr. Hudson has a keen eye for the phenomena with which the naturalist is concerned, and a lucid and delightful way of writing about them, so that any reader may be charmed by the narrative and the reflections here set forth. It is easy to follow him, and we get our information agreeably as he conducts us over the desert pampas, and makes us acquainted with the results of his studies of animals, insects, and birds.”—New York Sun.
