Not far off the Rio Negro ran between two scarpad banks, and I saw all round me tbe compact uia*sos of a virgin f ir— cst, an inextricable chaos of rocks piled up pell mell, and of fissures out of which oluuifa of trees grow.

A number of vultures, nrtibas, and oaraeactw, with half closed eyes, ’ were scatrd en the surrouitdiTfW rocks and apareutly awainting the hour for their meal. I jumped up on a rock, and thrn, by tho help of my Ijands and knees, gtined after exfrat rdinary diflScul'ieg, a sort of natii’-al terrace sitta’ed about twenty feet above ihs ground The frigk ful concert formed by thedcjiizsos of the fnrest, whom tho t-übtle'y of their scent attracted one after the other, increased more and more, and nverpowed the Very s tuitd of the w ind which raged in tii ■ ravines and forest clearings. “Tb* m . n was once nrnre hiddtn bibind chtid . and I found myself agvin in darkness • but if I could not distinguish the wild beast rear nie, I guessed aDd almost smelt their presence I s\w thtir cye h ills flashing in the gloom, arid heard their roars cors'antly et mt r g nearer.
