Excerpt from Our Search for a Wilderness: An Account of Two Ornithological Expeditions, to Venezuela and to British Guiana IN the following pages we have set down the tale of two searches for a wilderness. These two private expeditions were undertaken for the purpose of learning something about the birds and other wild creatures of countries further south than any we had yet visited. Both trips were successful, for the regions we explored were wilderness wonderlands, full of beauty, abounding in the romance which ever en hances wild creatures and wild men, and they were part of the great zoological dark continent which we hope to devote our lives to studying. On our first search the collecting of live birds was inci dental, although we brought back forty specimens of fourteen species.
