Bates lived and studied in Amazonian South America for a total of
eleven years, and is still regarded as one of the world's
pioneering naturalists and entomologists. This classic two-volume
work elucidates his concept of mimetic resemblance--known to this
day as "Batesian mimicry"--and displays his significant
contribution to the early development of the theory of natural
selection.
This is a reprint of the Bates family copy, the exclusive property
of the Natural History Museum, and includes a family tree of the
Leicester branch of Bates family. The volumes are richly
illustrated with numerous plates and a foldout map of Bates'
journey along the Amazon.
