*Bates H.W. 1864. ''The Naturalist on the River Amazons''. 2nd ed as one vol, Murray, London. (This is an abridged edition with much of the natural history cut out; it is this truncated edition which is usually reprinted. The 1863 or 1892 editions are suitable for professional purposes.) (Reissued by [[Cambridge University Press]], 2009; {{ISBN|978-1-108-00163-2}}.)
*Bates H.W. 1892. [https://archive.org/details/naturalistonri00bate ''The Naturalist on the River Amazons, With a Memoir of the Author by Edward Clodd'']. (This edition, published after Bates's death, is valuable for two reasons: it is the only time since 1863 that Murray published the full text, and it includes a good short biography by Clodd.)

(Based on Von Hellwald's ''Die Erde und ihre Volker''; the natural history and geographical relations of fauna and flora are wholly written by Bates; the other aspects he extensively revised and updated.)

*Woodcock G 1969. ''Henry Walter Bates, Naturalist of the Amazons''. Faber & Faber, London. (This, the only book-length biography, is by an author who was not a biologist. It gives a weak account of Bates's work on mimicry, says nothing about Müller, and remarks about Wallace are undistinguished. It is good on Bates's early life and his marriage, and on the travel aspects of the Amazon. The author dismisses Bates's later life too abruptly.)
