from an carly geological period and Isl
regarded by hotanists AZ one of the
most interesting In existence.
After the journey Of 1000 miles up
the Amazon. MIR. Muir found large
forests Of araucara trees. which are
known to the natives as tho monkey
puzzle" because of the apiny bark.
which makes II impossible for the
