Pages: 178 – 180

Abstract

John Hemming has done a marvelous job of reviewing the lives and contributions of three outstanding British naturalists who worked during the middle and late 19th century: Henry Walter Bates, Richard Spruce, and Alfred Russel Wallace. All three naturalists made interesting observations on the cultural life of the region, including some indigenous groups.
