===The Flora of the Orinoco River Basin===

'''Abstract'''

A detailed account of an expedition by boat down the full length of the Orinoco River and the flora found there.  The article includes numerous photographic plates and detailed, cut-away illustrations of many plants, including several rare species of orchid only found on the lower legs of the river.  (An earlier expedition included a detailed description of Pitch Lake, Venezuela, but only reached as far as Ciudad Bolívar.  Sampson Low, Marsten & Company released a book detailing the story of that journey in 1897.  This article represents an excerpted chapter to the follow-up work, to be published next year by same.)

'''About the Explorers'''
