. Wanderings in South America, the north-west of the United States, and the Antilles, in the years 1812, 1816, 1820, & 1824 [microform] : with original instructions for the perfect preservation of birds, etc. for cabinets of natural history. Zoology; Zoologie. EXPLANATORY INDEX. 455 back into the water in this injured condition, they were im- mediately set upon and devoured by their companion.!. Even as one was being hauled in on the line, its comrades, seeing that it was in difficulties, attacked it at onco. One day, when the boat was hauled in to some rocks, a ftsw of the men wer(3 engaged shooting tish near by, and in so doing wounded a large haimara. " Having escaped from its human tormentors, it made for the open river, but was instantly attacked by Perai attracted by the blood escaping from its wound, and was driven back to the shelter of the rocks close to the boat, from which I had a. » :f good view of the chase. The large fish followed by its savage enemies reminded me of a parallel case on land—a stricken deer pursued by wolves, " The Perai, fortunately, lie only off sand-beaches and in quiet pools, not frequenting the cataracts, where their presence would be anything but acceptable to the men while woi'king in the water, I was fortunate enough to find the sjmwning place of some Perai on the matted clusters of fibrous roots of some lianes, which hung from the branches of a tree into the water, amongst which much earthy sediment had collected, and many small aquatic plants had grown. The sediment gave weight to the roots which kept the clusters under water, and the force of the current made them buoyant, giving the lianes a slope when the river was high, which kept them not far from its surface.
