Since boyhood Kingsley had longed to see the tropics, and in 1869 he sailed at last down the chain of the Caribbean islands to Trinidad. He writes of Port of Spain, the high woods, the Pitch Lake at La Brea, the islands of the Bocas, plants, birds and insects, with the enthusiasm of a born naturalist and the views of a Victorian.
