After passing through the Tuamotu Archipelago between November 9th and 13th, Tahiti was reached early on November 15 th. Later that day, Darwin and FitzRoy went ashore at

what they please. A person who stated himself to be the master of an English whaler, lying in the harbour, came on board the Beagle, accompanied by a man said to be the third mate. The former complained of the mutinous state of his crew, who had ill treated this third mate, and then refused to work or obey any orders. Inquiry on board the whaler, showed that the crew had been ill-used, especially as to provisions: and that not only the nominal master, but the chief as well as the second mate were

On coming to an Anchor I was full of eager expectation, but a damp was soon thrown over the whole scene by the news there was not a single letter for the Beagle. None of you at home can imagine what a grief this is. There is no help for it: We did not formerly expect to have

It seems strange, that this little centre of a distinct creation should, as is asserted, bear marks of recent elevation. The Beagle proceeds from this place to Ascension, thence to C.

I absolutely revel in room: I would not change berths with anyone in the Ship. The cause of our very long delay here is coppering the Schooner; as soon as this is finished the Beagle will go for a month to R. Negro, return to the R.

During this cruize we have had the misfortune to loose 4 anchors; this is the cause of our now proceeding to Valparaiso; with only one anchor at the bows it would not be safe to survey the coast. The Beagle will immediately return to Concepcion, from there resume the survey continue to Coquimbo. Then she will return to Valparaiso, take in provisions, start for Lima.

collected during the voyage. Three or four additional notebooks, including those from Australia and New Zealand, appear to have been lost.11 The field notebooks served as the source materials for Darwin's more expanded geological and zoological notes, discussed above. These notes, in turn, served as the bases for the five volumes published on the zoology of the Beagle,12 and the three volumes on the geology.13 More recently, they have provided us with Darwin's ornithological notes.14 Lest the reader

almost the only botanical collections made after leaving Peru. His failure to do any more plant collecting than this may have been due to the limited space for specimen storage on the Beagle being almost filled up by his Gal pagos gatherings,33 but more likely was due to the areas next visited (Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, Tasmania, Mauritius, Cape of Good Hope) already being well-collected. As we have seen, Darwin paid particular attention to the collecting of his Gal pagos plants, and he

Gal pagos plants mainly while he was at Kew, and because there is a partial set of these plants there, many taxonomists have assumed that the types of the many new species he described must be there as well. However, I have just completed a study on Darwin's Gal pagos specimens and find that those at Kew are duplicates, the main set being at Cambridge.56 A few of Darwin's Beagle specimens are to be found in other herbaria (i.e., the Gray Herbarium, Harvard University; the herbarium of the

Introduction H.M.S. Beagle made landfall on 2 October 1836 at Falmouth. She had been away for four years and ten months. Darwin disembarked, never to leave the British Islands again, and went home to Shrewsbury. He was twenty-seven, had a B.A. without honours from Cambridge and had already given up any idea of becoming a Church of England clergyman. But he knew what he wanted to do, which was to get the material that he had collected sorted and distributed amongst those who were prepared to

Fourth Case - BEAGLE RESULTS As soon as he got back to England Darwin devoted a great deal of time trying to find people who would identify and describe the large amounts of material which he had collected. He hoped to get all the animals at least contained in a uniform series of books. In the event, he was only able to get the vertebrates, including the fossil mammals, done in this way. The geological results he covered himself. For the rest, some was covered in papers in journals, but much

on the first floor. There was a smaller room with a bay window behind, which was the room the family used when they were alone; in it Emma kept the Broadwood grand pianoforte which had been a wedding present from her father. It is now in the drawing room at Down House and in fine condition. The family bedrooms including later the nursery, were on the second floor and it was here too that Darwin originally stored his bulky Beagle material, although much of it was dispersed and the rest probably

, took over the keys, and wrote to Emma that evening to tell her that he had done so. He and Covington started packing up the next day, the bulky and weighty Beagle material taking a long time. On the Tuesday morning they moved and slept in Number 12 that night. Covington probably stayed on for a bit while Darwin arranged servants and then he left. There is an entry 11-Darwin's made up accounts for 25 February 'Present to Covington on leaving me £2', but this was four weeks after the wedding. He is
