Both for his private journal and for the Zoology Notes he wrote in ink on gatherings of paper making pages 20 by 25 cm in size, faintly lined and with a red marginal line22. At the head of each page, its number and the month, year and location of the observations were entered. In the Beagle Diary, the margin

These two pages are listed as CUL MS DAR 5.98-9, the page numbering being that of the cataloguer, not CD's, and run as follows: [p. 98 commences] That the number of arms in Polypus of the Flustrace varies from 8 to 28 is no more than a Specific

CD accompanied him on local expeditions around Edinburgh, and was closely associated with his researches on marine invertebrates. 27 Cambridge University Library MS DAR 118. 28 For a list of the books on board the Beagle see Correspondence 1:553
