INTRODUCTION
The dried or mounted skins of animals from out-of-the-way places arefamiliar to every one who has visited museums and other similarinstitutions. But, no matter how cleverly arranged, they suggestcomparatively little of the creatures’ real appearance in their nativeenvironment.
The comedies, the tragedies, and the life stories of the untrammelledwild creatures are infinitely more fascinating than a survey of theirlifeless and often faded forms, only too frequently collected by thehundreds with little other thought than that of classification or thepossession first of rare or undescribed species.
It was with the view of bringing to light the home life of some of thejungle’s inhabitants that “The Black Phantom” was written.
