      Note/s:
      • Author's note: This little sketch, though the locality is laid in the furthest depths of the great Amazon forest, is not meant, as in most boys' books, to be a record of thrilling adventures, but of what the 'Missing Link', that is the creature about half way between the highest ape and the lowest savage, might have been, if brought into contact with a highly-civilised man cast away, almost unarmed, and both thrown mutually dependent, to a great extent, on each other. It is, in short, an evolutionary study quite as much as a story.
