The CD contains far more information than is possible to fit on this site; including video clips, graphs, maps and tables, and many hundreds of pictures - of a much higher resolution than those on the site. It is a fascinating insight into the wildlife of Amazonia, and a huge resource of information for anyone with an interest in the subject.

Bates set out for South America on an expedition which would see them explore the Amazon and Rio Negro rivers. After four years of collecting, Wallace set sail for home in 1852. Disastrously, his ship caught fire en route, and he lost his entire collection and most of his notes. After considerable further difficulties, Wallace arrived back in Britain in 1852, where he began work on "Travels on the Amazon and Rio Negro", first published the following year.
