All collections made after this had to be stored on the Beagle until its return to Greenwich, England in October 1836. This is probably the reason that Darwin collected plants in only a few localities after the Beagle left Chile. He had very little room in which to store his geological, zoological, and botanical collections. Incidentally, the geological and zoological
