The Naturalist on the River Amazons, subtitled A Record of the Adventures, Habits of Animals, Sketches of Brazilian and Indian Life, and Aspects of Nature under the Equator, during Eleven Years of Travel, is an 1863 book by the British naturalist Henry Walter Bates about his expedition to the Amazon basin. Bates and his friend Alfred Russel Wallace set out to obtain new species and new evidence for evolution by natural selection, as well as exotic specimens to sell. He explored thousands of miles of the Amazon and its tributaries, and collected over 14,000 species, of which 8,000 were new to science. His observations of the coloration of butterflies led him to discover Batesian mimicry.

Frontispiece to volume 1 by Josiah Wood Whymper, entitled "Adventure with Curl-Crested Toucans". The image is misleading as Bates was not carrying a gun when he encountered the birds.

Nach Bates Rückkehr nach England wurde er von Charles Darwin ermutigt, seinen elfjährigen Aufenthalt im Amazonasgebiet in einem Buch festzuhalten. Das Ergebnis wurde weithin bewundert, nicht zuletzt von Darwin; andere Rezensenten widersprachen manchmal der Unterstützung des Buches für die Evolutionstheorie, genossen aber im Allgemeinen seinen Bericht über die Reise, die Landschaft, die Menschen und die Naturgeschichte. Das Buch wurde viele Male nachgedruckt, meist in Bates eigener effektiver Kurzfassung für die zweite Auflage, in der die eher technischen Beschreibungen weggelassen wurden. „…the best book of Natural History Travels ever published in England — Charles Darwin“

He explored thousands of miles of the Amazon and its tributaries, and collected over 14,000 species, of which 8,000 were new to science. His observations of the coloration of butterflies led him to discover Batesian mimicry. The book contains an evenly distributed mixture of natural history, travel, and observation of human societies, including the towns with their Catholic processions. Only the most remarkable discoveries of animals and plants are described, and theories such as evolution and mimicry are barely mentioned. Bates remarks that finding a new species is only the start; he also describes animal behaviour, sometimes in detail, as for the army ants. He constantly relates the wildlife to the people, explaining how the people hunt, what they eat and what they use as medicines. The book is illustrated with drawings by leading artists including E. W. Robinson, Josiah Wood Whymper, Joseph Wolf and Johann Baptist Zwecker. On Bates's return to England, he was encouraged by Charles Darwin to write up his eleven-year stay in the Amazon as a book. The result was widely admired, not least by Darwin: The best book of Natural History Travels ever published in England. — Charles Darwin, Letter to Bates (1863) Other reviewers sometimes disagreed with the book's support for evolution, but generally enjoyed his account of the journey, scenery, people, and natural history. The book has been reprinted many times, mostly in Bates's own effective abridgement for the second edition, which omitted the more technical descriptions.

Suas observações sobre a coloração das borboletas o levou a descobrir a mímica batesiana. O livro contém uma mistura uniformemente distribuída de história natural, viagens e observação das sociedades humanas, incluindo as cidades com suas procissões católicas. Apenas as descobertas mais notáveis de animais e plantas são descritas, e teorias como evolução e mimetismo são pouco mencionadas. Bates observa que encontrar uma nova espécie é apenas o começo; ele também descreve o comportamento animal, às vezes em detalhes, como para as formigas de correição. Ele constantemente relaciona a vida selvagem com as pessoas, explicando como as pessoas caçam, o que comem e o que usam como remédios. O livro é ilustrado com desenhos de artistas de renome, incluindo , , e . No retorno de Bates à Inglaterra, ele foi encorajado por Charles Darwin a escrever sua estada de onze anos na Amazônia como um livro. O resultado foi amplamente admirado, principalmente por Darwin; outros revisores às vezes discordavam do apoio do livro à evolução, mas geralmente gostavam de seu relato sobre a jornada, o cenário, as pessoas e a história natural. O livro foi reimpresso muitas vezes, principalmente no próprio resumo efetivo de Bates para a segunda edição, que omitiu as descrições mais técnicas.
