THE NATURALIST IN LA PLATA BY W. H. HUDSON, C.M.Z.S. JOINT AUTHOR OF “ARGENTINE ORNITHOLOGY” WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY J. SMIT THIRD EDITION. NEW YORKD. APPLETON AND COMPANY1895 PREFACE. The plan I have followed in this work has been to sift and arrange the facts I have gathered concerning the habits of the animals best known to me, preserving those only, which, in my judgment, appeared worth recording. In some instances a variety of subjects have linked themselves together in my mind, and have been grouped under one heading; consequently the scope of the book is not indicated by the list of contents: this want is, however, made good by an index at the end....

IN THE SOUTH SEAS PART 1: THE MARQUESAS CHAPTER I–AN ISLAND LANDFALL For nearly ten years my health had been declining; and for some while before I set forth upon my voyage, I believed I was come to the afterpiece of life, and had only the nurse and undertaker to expect. It was suggested that I should try the South Seas; and I was not unwilling to visit like a ghost, and be carried like a bale, among scenes that had attracted me in youth and health....

I shrank from the great trouble of bringing it up to date because it, or rather many of my memoirs out of which it was built up, had become starting-points for elaborate investigations both in England and in America, to which it would be difficult and very laborious to do justice in a brief compass....
