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. In this scheme, granite was an igneous rock produced from the melting of the refractory

basaltic melts. 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

surveying them. A little surprisingly, Darwin does not report on them in great detail. Perhaps this was because the visit followed a period of over two weeks (28 February-18 March 1832) in the Brazilian coastal town of Bahia (Salvador), where he had experienced Latin American culture with a vengeance (including a carnival), wandered through the luxuriant tropical forests and explored the narrow, bustling alleys of the old town. As the ship sailed south, in the last week of March, Darwin seems to

He had had his feet on volcanic islands and coral islets and was able to compare them; he had noted the variation in depth around coral islands, and speculated about a relationship between coral growth and volcanic rocks (he had seen both at St Jago). He worked out procedures for collecting rocks, plants, insects, birds and other organisms in the short time of an island landing and recording his observations
