' The Earth and its Inhabitants '-4
' Life in the Tropical Forests '
JAMES RITCHIE (Professor of Natural History in the University of Aberdeen)
Only in a land where there is both great heat and much moisture can the tropical ' rain-forest' nourish. It is a place of strange conditions, for in its depths the light of the sun scarcely penetrates and no breath of wind stirs. So its inhabitants are peculiar, distributed m a series of flats. Some are tree-top animals which live in the sunny attics of the forest and seldom touch the ground : others are confined to the ground, the dark, moist, stuffy cellars of the forest: but all are specially fitted for their particular habitations.
