The Equatorial Forest
III. NJ Tomlinson, 'The Sea and the Jungle.]
The equatorial forest is popularity pictured as
a place OF bright and varied colors, with ex-
travagant flowers an abundance OF fruits, ana
huge trees huns tt urn nhs iiks

flowers; paradise indeed, though haunted by
peril. Those details are right but the picture Is

full of our temperate birds seem dull; but the
toucans and macaws of the Madeira forest,
