It is a capital book for boys. * * * The stories it contains are

calculated to impart much knowledge of natural history to youthful
readers.--_Boston Traveller._

Wild Life under the Equator.
By PAUL B. DU CHAILLU. Illustrated. 12mo, Cloth, $1.50.
The amount of enjoyment that was afforded to the children by the
previous work of this author, "Stories of the Gorilla Country," is
beyond computation. * * * We have read every word of "Wild Life under
the Equator" with the liveliest interest and satisfaction No ingenious
youth of twelve in the land will find it more "awfully jolly" than did
we.--_N. Y. Evening Post._

My Apingi Kingdom:
With Life in the Great Sahara, and Sketches of the Chase of the
Ostrich, Hyena, &c. By PAUL B. DU CHAILLU. Illustrated. 12mo,
Cloth, $1.50.
In this book Mr. Du Chaillu relates the story of his sojourn in Apingi
Land, of which he was elected king by the kind-hearted and hospitable
natives. * * * We assure the reader that it is full of stirring
incidents and exciting adventures. Many chapters are exceedingly
humorous, and others are quite instructive. The chapter, for instance,
on the habits of the white and tree ants contains an interesting
contribution to natural history.--_N. Y. Herald._

The Country of the Dwarfs.
By PAUL B. DU CHAILLU. Illustrated. 12mo, Cloth, $1.50.
Hail to thee, Paul! thou hero of single-handed combats with gorillas and
every imaginable beast that ever howled through the deserts, from the
elephant to the kangaroo; thou unscathed survivor of a thousand-and-one
vicissitudes by fire, field, and flood; thou glowing historian of thine
own superlatively glorious deeds: thou writer of books that make the
hairs of the children stand on every available end; thou proud king of
the Apingi savages of the equator; hail! we say.--_Utica Herald._
