The novelty surprise were gone, perhaps our memories had, in the long interval, exaggerated the colours of the scenery.

notes refer to numbers on the specimens, keyed to note-book entries elsewhere. He does not seem to have collected any insect specimens after his visit to Bahia in Brazil in early July, and he apparently collected no plants during this part of the voyage. Certainly by this stage of the journey his cases of specimens must have been very full, and some of the things he might have collected would perhaps represent duplicates of what he had obtained elsewhere. Also, many of the plants and birds of

Figure 7. Thin-sections of two of Darwin's so-called Hornblende rocks from Bahia. Right: The Hornblende rock which comprizes the broken-up pods (Darwin's specimens 319, 320), described in Darwin's specimen list as Hornblende rock entangled in gneiss, is a high-grade metamorphic rock (plagioclase amphibolite). The texture is one of interlocking equidimensional crystals of amphibole and feldspar, as occurs in high-temperature metamorphism. Left: The Hornblende rock which comprizes the dykes of
