woodcock g 1969. henry walter bates, naturalist of the amazons.
[this, the only book-length biography, is by an author who was not a biologist.
it gives a weak account of bates' work on mimicry, says nothing about mller, and remarks about wallace are undistinguished.
it is good on bates' early life and his marriage, and on the travel aspects of the amazon.
the author dismisses bates' later life too abruptly]
