few in species to please me: in two months' hard work I can only muster fifty Longicornes, a number I reached in ten days in Singapore; but Lamellicornes are the most extraordinarily scarce; I have only nine species, and four of them single specimens; there are, however, two fine Lomaptera among them, I hope new. All other groups are the same; Geodephaga, scarcely a dozen species, and nothing remarkable; not one Cicindela; only one Tricondyla (T. aptera?) and one Theretes (T. labiata), with not

European luxuries of sugar, biscuit, preserved fruits, and wine, were to be obtained in small quantities, but at very moderate prices, and there was generally no advance made on the Singapore or Macassar rates, the dealers trusting to the profit obtained on the produce taken in exchange from the native buyers. Cockfighting and football-playing (in which the Bugis are very expert) took place almost every evening in the widest part of the street; and though quarrels sometimes occur and creeses are drawn

Whether we are at Singapore or Batavia, in the Moluccas or New Guinea, at Para, at the sources of the Rio Negro, or on the Upper Amazon, the equatorial climate is essentially the same, and we have no reason to believe that it materially differs in Guinea or the Congo. In certain localities, however, a more contrasted wet and dry season prevails, with a somewhat greater range of the thermometer. This is generally associated with a sandy soil, and a less dense forest, or with an open

CHAPTER XII THE MALAY ARCHIPELAGO (1854 1858) MY wanderings and adventures in the far East have been recorded in my book The Malay Archipelago. I will therefore give here but a brief outline with a few extracts from my letters and references to subjects of special interest. I remained at Singapore for several months collecting insects and birds in the forests around. In a letter home I give a short account of my daily life at this time: I will tell you how my day is now occupied. Get up at

Your affectionate son, ALFRED R. WALLACE. TO HIS MOTHER Singapore. September 30, 1854. My dear Mother, I last wrote to you from Malacca in July.

But as the journey out would be an expensive one, he was advised to lay his plans before Sir Roderick Murchison, then President of the Royal Geographical Society, and it was through his kindly interest and personal application to the Government that a passage was provided in one of the P. and O. boats going to Singapore.

Had it not been for his extreme shyness of disposition, and (according to his own estimation) lack of conversational powers, he would doubtless have become far more widely known, and have enjoyed the friendship of not a few of the eminent men who shared his interests, during this interval before starting on his journey to Singapore.

In China there are near a million Catholics, in Tonquin and Cochin China more than half a million! One secret of their success is the cheapness of their establishments. A missionary is allowed about 30 a year, on which he lives, in whatever country he may be. This has two good effects. A large number of missionaries can be employed with
