During the voyage of the Beagle, Darwin was, as we have observed, subject to intermittent bouts of severe seasickness and during the first few weeks was quite prostrated with continuous vomiting. Later he partially accommodated himself to the motion of the ship, but never completely. In Bahia in Brazil he developed an infection of his leg which

It turned out that although the relative positions of Bahia and the Abrolhos Islands were shown correctly on the chart, there was an error of four miles in longitude between the Islands and Rio de Janeiro.

About 9 o'clock we were near to the coast of Brazil; we saw a considerable extent of it, the whole line is rather low irregular, from the profusion of wood verdure of a bright green colour. About 11 o'clock we entered the bay of All Saints, on the Northern side of which is situated the town of

From the general structure of the coast of this part of South America, we are compelled to believe, that the changes of level have all (at least of late) been in one direction, and that they have been very gradual. If, then, we look back to the period when these quadrupeds lived, the land probably stood at a level, less elevated only by a few

I was therefore much surprised, after a week's hot weather, when I first saw square miles of country, that I had previously ridden over in the former condition, white, as if from a slight fall of snow which the wind had heaped up into partial drifts. This latter appearance is chiefly due to the tendency which the salt has to crystallize, like hoar-frost
