fascinating work. * * * * * The Lower Amazon A Narrative of Explorations in the Little-Known Regions of the State of Para, on the Lower Amazon, with a Record of Archaeological Excavations on Marajo Island at the Mouth of the Amazon River, and Observations on the General Resources of the Country By Algot Lange Author of "In the Amazon Jungle" Late officially connected with the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the Brazilian Federal Government _With an Introduction by Frederick S. Dellenbaugh 8o. 100 Illustrations and Maps. $2.50_ To readers of Algot Lange's former book, "In the Amazon Jungle," the present volume needs no introduction. No explorer of modern times has had a more adventurous or more fruitful career. The scientific, archaeological, and topographical results of his explorations are only exceeded by the adventure of his expeditions, and he has proved himself a faithful and supremely interesting raconteur. The scene of his present volume lies in the extreme eastern part of that vast division of South America lying on both sides of the greatest river in the world. The explorer's adventure with a nest of boa-constrictors, his discovery of an island covered with pottery of an ancient race, and of tribes of stark naked Indians living in the most primitive style, using stone axes and making dugouts as they must have been made many centuries ago, is supplemented by his valuable information of the undeveloped wealth of the vast tract traversed.
