INTRODUCTION
The dried or mounted skins of animals from out-of-the-way places are familiar to every one who has visited museums and other similar institutions. But, no matter how cleverly arranged, they suggest comparatively little of the creatures\u2019 real appearance in their native environment.
The comedies, the tragedies, and the life stories of the untrammelled wild creatures are infinitely more
fascinating than a survey of their lifeless and often faded forms, only too frequently collected by the hundreds
with little other thought than that of classification or the possession first of rare or undescribed species.
It was with the view of bringing to light the home life of some of the jungle\ue000s inhabitants that \u201cThe Black
Phantom\u201d was written.
