Dark blue buckram; gilt stamped spine; 54 plates (black and white photographs and diagrams); 5 maps (as specified in the contents), 2 in the text, 1 small, pristine, fold-out diagrammatic map of the Issa-Japura central watershed showing language groups and 2 large, pristine, 80 x 50 cm. fold-out maps of the Northern Affluents of the Amazon and the Northwest Affluents of the Amazon River. Binding tight; boards with minor edge wear; no dust jacket; internally fine.

Quoting the Preface, In presenting to the public the results of my journey through the lands about the upper waters of the Amazon, I make no pretence of challenging conclusions drawn by such experienced scientists as Charles Waterton, Alfred Russel Wallace, Richard Spruce, and Henry Walter Bates, nor to compete with the indefatigable industry of those recent explorers Dr. Koch Gr�nberg and Dr. Hamilton Rice. . .
