of animals, from ants to ostriches! His use of the term in connection with the behaviour of the robber crab of the Cocos Islands is therefore of particular interest. The account of the behaviour of this creature is remarkably detailed. Some aspects of the description were referred to on page 67 (see also Figure 20); some slight repetition occurs here: These monstrous crabs inhabit in numbers the low strips of dry coral land; they live entirely on the fruit of the cocoa nut three.

organisms into the structure of his hypothetico-deductive systems and so obtained a means of testing his theories. * Cf. F. A. Beach, The Snark was a Boojum, The American Psychologist, V (1950), 115-124. Darwin's importance is often overlooked by workers in this field. He used this same approach—tracing out the variations in behavioral phenomena through the genealogical tree—in his work on insectivorous plants. In The Origin of Species he treats the slave-making habits of ants and the manner of comb

complex instincts appear to have been gained in a wholly different manner, through the natural selection of variations of simpler instinctive actions. Such variations appear to arise from the same unknown causes acting on the cerebral organization, which induce slight variations or individual differences in other parts of the body....We can, I think, come to no other conclusion with respect to the origin of the more complex instincts, when we reflect on the marvelous instincts of sterile worker-ants

), Diptera (flies), Hemiptera (bugs), Hymenoptera (ants, bees, wasps) and Orthoptera (grasshoppers) were collected, probably many of them by using a sweep-net in the vegetation high on the island. He wondered 'from what district or centre of creation future comparison might show that the organized beings of this archipelago must be attached.'10 He ascended to the summit of Saddle Mountain, the highest hill on the island. He estimated it at 2,000 feet (610 m) (modern maps show it at 2,700 feet

The land-rail, later identified as Rallus philippen-sis andrewii, is an endemic subspecies, now confined to North Keeling. A fragment of paper kept with Darwin's zoological notes lists the '12 specimens' - flies, ants, a couple of moths and a beetle. In the Voyage he amends the total to thirteen species

comparatively overlooked. It was after all Darwin's greatest achievement—to convince the skeptical international scientific community that life on earth is not a series of disconnected independent creations but a unified family tree of genealogical descent with slow modification. As if this were not enough he also discovered sexual selection and a version of kin selection to explain the evolution of sterile social insects such as ants and bees. He showed that the we ourselves are descended from
