	The Naturalist on the River Amazon - Appreciation
		Bates' later part is mainly devoted to his residence at Santarem, at the junction of the Rio Tapajos with the main stream, and to his account of Upper Amazon, or Solimoens--the Fauna of which is, as we shall presently see, in many respects very different from that of the lower part of the river.
		Bates in his chapter on the natural features of the district, and it is evident that none of these classes of beings escaped the observation of his watchful intelligence.
		Bates tells us he was at first a little dismayed at leaving the equator, "where the well-balanced forces of Nature maintain a land-surface and a climate typical of mind, and order and beauty," to sail towards the "crepuscular skies" of the cold north.

	Chrono-Biographical Sketch: Henry Walter Bates
		Henry Walter Bates has a permanent place in the history of natural history by virtue of his eleven year stint as a collector in tropical Brazil, the famous travel book he wrote describing his adventure, and his pulling together of geographical data, field observation, and Darwinian theory to fashion the theory of protective mimicry.
		Bates was headed for a dull life as a clerk at a brewery when by chance he ran into Alfred Russel Wallace at the library at the Collegiate School in Leicester, where Wallace was working temporarily as a master.
		Bates had already published some short notes on entomology and was an avid amateur collector; Wallace's interest was sparked and he kept in touch when he left the area.

		Bates, already a diehard beetle collector, became friends with Wallace while they were both living in the English countryside and then set out with him to become a professional collector in the Amazon in 1848.
		Bates discovered that closely related species often were separated geographically by rivers, and later realized that this was evidence of geographical speciation.
		Bates argued that this kind of mimicry could not be produced by Lamarckian use-inheritance and was clear evidence of selection.

		Bates was suspicious of sweeping generalities; he was concerned with direct, detailed observationwith what could be seen and verified.

	Rocky Road: Henry Walter Bates
		Bates joined Wallace on the expedition in 1848, much to the regret of his parents who felt he'd make a better living in manufacturing than in collecting exotic specimens.
		Bates and Wallace soon fell into a routine in their field work in Brazil, rising at dawn, looking for birds, breakfasting at midmorning, then turning to insects until stopped by midday heat.
		Prolonged exposure to sun, heat and tropical disease eventually took its toll, and Bates was obliged to return to England.

		Bates lived eleven years of his life (1848 to 1859) in the Brazilian Amazon investigating the natural history of this vast region crossed by the Amazon River and its tributaries.
		Nevertheless, Bates had to abandon these long-cherished plans at the beginning of 1858 when he contracted malaria at São Paulo de Olivença, a town near the Peruvian border.
		Only in recent years have we learned how accurate Bates was in guessing that the greatest diversity in butterfly species would be found at the foot of the Andes, looking eastward towards the Amazon Basin.

	Mimicry [MT Dorak]
		To be successful and beneficial to the mimic, the model should be an abundant species whose noxious characteristics have left a lasting impression on predator.
		He found two unrelated but similarly marked families of Brazilian forest butterflies one of which (model) was poisonous to the birds and the other palatable ones (mimic) survived because of the resemblance to the poisonous ones.
		Bates had observed a resemblance among several unrelated butterflies all of which were inedible.

		Collegiate School had a good library, and there he was able to find and digest several important works on natural history and systematics; moreover, sometime during the year 1844 he made the acquaintance of another young amateur naturalist, Henry Walter Bates.
		Bates, though two years younger than Wallace, was already an accomplished entomologist, and his collections and collecting activities soon captured Wallace's interest.
		Bates was enlisted (undoubtedly with little effort), and the two young men (at the time Wallace was 25 and Bates 23) left for Pará (now called Belém), at the mouth of the Amazon, on 25 April 1848.

		A British naturalist, Bates was astonished by the abundance of "alligators"--or fl caiman--particularly in western Brazil, where the Amazon River is referred to as the Solimoes (Bates's Solimoens).
		For more than four years, Bates lived in the sleepy village of Ega, now called Tefe, and observed the natural history of the region, including the habits of the area's top predator, the fl caiman.
		During the mid-twentieth century, the fl caiman became the target of intensive commercial skin hunting and in the 1970s was declared endangered.

		Throughout Entangled Edens, the voices of contemporary Amazonians mingle with the analyses of such writers as Claude Levi-Strauss, Theodore Roosevelt, and nineteenth-century naturalist Henry Walter Bates.
		Slater convinces us that these stories and ideas, together with an understanding of their origins and ongoing impact, are as critical as scientific analyses in the fight to preserve the rain forest.
