B and the subsequent transmutation notebooks, Darwin persists in exploring the question of adaptation through the laws of reproduction.5 The second question Darwin asks at the outset of Notebook B is how are new species formed? Aboard the Beagle Darwin was struck by two phenomena of distribution: representative species on the South American continent and species endemic to oceanic islands. How, Darwin wonders, can species be made in a 'whole country'? Or as he puts it 'with this tendency to vary

Acknowledgements I am most grateful to Philip Titheradge, Curator of the Darwin Museum at Down House, Downe, Kent, for access to the manuscript of the Beagle Diary, and to Darwin's field notebooks. The cost of obtaining copyflow prints from microfilms of the notebooks was met by a grant from the Darwin Fund of the Royal Society. My greatest indebtedness is to the editors of the Correspondence, on whom I have drawn heavily for their listing in their Appendix II to Volume 1 of Darwin's Beagle

Introduction The inception of the voyage of the Beagle, 1831 1836 In February 1830, Captain Robert FitzRoy RN, newly appointed to command HMS Beagle, was engaged on a survey of the western part of Tierra del Fuego in the neighbourhood of the Gilbert Islands. One of the principal obstacles that he encountered in carrying out his allotted task was the incorrigible tendency of the local inhabitants to steal anything on which they could lay their hands, including most exasperatingly the ship's

These have been identified by us as far as it has been possible from current literature (see p. 201), and they have been correlated with Darwin's own lists of collections and other notes kept by him from the Beagle voyage. In addition to the material mentioned above, there are a number of insects in the Hope Entomological Collections (mainly from Australia) labelled C
