HIGH JUNGLES AND LOW, by Archie Carr. xvi + 226, illus- trated. University of Florida Press, Gainesville. 1953. Price $4.50.

Archie Carr, who is Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Florida, has written a highly readable account of his experiences and observations during a stay of five years in Honduras and Nicaragua. The book is divided into four parts beginning with a description of the tropical cloud forests and their inhabitants. From the mountain tops, reaching to- ward the sky, he takes the reader next to the lowland forests. The "Wasting Land" is the subject of the third chapter in which Dr. Carr makes seven pertinent suggestions for im- proving relationships with the Latin-American countries.

Part II of the book provides some absorbing and entertain- ing anecdotes about the people of the country and his close relationships with them. In Part III, Dr. Carr moves again to the lowlands and tells of two lakes, Managua and Nicarugua, where there are several very interesting biological problems relating to the fishes occurring in them. The last section of the book takes the reader to the "Halls of the Mountain Cow" or tapir. This part tells of his adventures on a timber cruise through the virgin forests of Nicaragua.

Unfortunately proof readers missed a few typographical errors, the reproduction of photographs leaves something to be desired, and the price of this small book is excessive, never- theless, the entertaining and informative reading and the vivid descriptions far more than offset these minor detractions.-L. B.
