There are several points of William Hallowes Miller succeeded to the professorship of mineralogy at the University of Cambridge in 1832, after it was vacated by William Whewell. Miller continued Whewell's focus on crystallography. After returning from the Beagle voyage, Darwin consulted Miller on a number of the geological

in newspapers and magazines. Darwin was only one man amongst a large international scientific community. This meant that in addition to profiting from the reference works and publications of other naturalists, his science was also a dialogue with his peers. Darwin's views are most widely known from his books. The Origin of Species is often referred to as one of the most important and famous books ever written. Similarly his Journal of Researches (now commonly known as Voyage of the Beagle) and

Darwin's researches in Galápagos geology, as in zoology and botany, represented a culmination of his South American work and an opportunity for him to test some of his skills of both observation and reasoning. Furthermore, common ideas, drawn particularly from Scrope and Lyell, emphasized the on-going nature of processes operating within the Earth and upon its fauna and flora. For Darwin, as well

He published numerous works based on the Beagle expedition well received in the scientific world back in England including his famous Journal of Researches (Voyage of the Beagle), and specialist works on the geology and zoology of the voyage. Based on some of the last of his Beagle specimens he began to study barnacles and ended up writing four volumes describing all known

scientific community. Scientists found that new avenues were thrown open to their particular researches. Countless confirmations and refinements to Darwin’s views were published. New fossil forms were discovered which filled gaps between already known groups, just as Darwin had predicted. What is perhaps so remarkable about Charles Darwin is how far he went beyond his contemporaries. If he had died on the Beagle voyage, instead of Darwinism we would probably not have Wallaceism or anyone-else-ism

The second volume of the geology of the voyage, published in 1844, was entitled Geological Observations on Volcanic Islands, with Brief Notices on the Geology of Australia and the Cape of Good Hope. At many times during the Beagle voyage Darwin had opportunity to study volcanic islands. Lyell had opposed the notion of von Buch and others that volcanic craters should be treated as craters of elevation. According to this view a crater would
