August 1st Anchored in Bahia de todos los Santos. The first aspect of the city its outskirts, with the beauties of which we were formerly so much delighted, had lost part of its charms. The novelty surprise were gone, perhaps our memories had, in the long interval, exaggerated the colours of the scenery. There existed, however, as we afterwards discovered, a more true reason, in the loss of some of the finest Mango trees, which during the late disturbances of the negroes had been cut down. We

in the deeper regions of the earth's crust might on the one hand produce the so-called primary rocks such as gneiss, and, on the oher hand, result in partial melting and squeezing out of a basaltic liquid as he thought had occurred at Bahia. The chemical composition of granite, which was produced by melting of gneiss in such regions, was, therefore, explained as opposite and complementary to basalt.

However, due to his lack of knowledge of the melting points of the silicate minerals, and his misinterpretation of a puzzling field locality at Bahia in Brazil, he wrongly believed granitic gneiss to be the progenitor of these basalts. Despite this error, Darwin's igneous speculations show a characteristic blend of detailed observation and broader theorizing. Most interesting of all, striking analogies can be found between Darwin's igneous work and his theory of natural selection
