' Text Appearing After Image: A SUMMERON THE YENESEI (1914) BY MAUD D. HAVILAND AUTHOR OF THE WOOD PEOPLE AND OTHERS ILLUSTRATED LONDON EDWARD ARNOLD 1915 (An rights reserved) PREFACE Anyone who writes about the birds of Yenesei, now-adays, does so with diffidence, for the recollection ofthe Birds of Siberia is always present with him, like acritic standing at his shoulder. But the journey downthe river is shorter than it was in Seebohms time, andtherefore there is less opportunity to observe the birdsand men who live along the banks; for taiga andtundra slide past as quickly as at a kinematographshow. There is more scope at Golchika, and there, ifwishes might have found place, I should like to havewoven a little of the spell of the tundra into theselines of print—the voices of the wild-fowl calling upthe summer, the poppies above the snowdrifts, thesmell of driftwood fires, and the squelch of the rein-deers little hoofs in the moss. But this book has nopretension to such art. It contains merely some pagesfrom tsummeronyenesei00havi
