THE GOLDEN RIVER. By J. W. Hills, M.P., and Ianthe
Dunbar. (Philip Allan. 10s. 6d. net.) The best pages in this agreeable and brief account of a fishing trip up the Parani River are those which describe the falls of Iguazii and Guayra. Few Englishmen have seen these marvels of river scenery, to visit which ordinarily involves a journey of many days in particularly noisome steamers. But those who have seen them rank them as one of the wonders of the world, and incline to place them above Niagara or Victoria. The authors of this book were entranced by the delicate beauty of falling water at Iguazil, and stunned by its savage strength at Guayra. Some excellent photo- graphs bear out the description of Iguazti, but it seems to have been impossible to secure a picture of Guayra, even to get a sight of which is something of an adventure.
