Cruz extends down to near Coy inlet; where to the Gallegos a lower step continues the formation. I think it cannot be doubted that all the above ranges, belong to the elevated series of plains: its greater elevation near to the mountain chain is what might be expected. To the South of the Gallegos there are some high flat

Appendix: Works referred to by Charles Darwin In 'Coral Islands' Darwin makes reference to some fourteen books and papers, listed below. It is probable that not all of these were carried on the Beagle, and the references derive from other sources. For example, Darwin did not read other languages with ease, and his knowledge of the work of Quoy and Gaimard almost certainly derives from De la Beche's 'Geological Manual.'

The Beagle had been working on the west coast of South America in the earlier part of 1835, and it would therefore be of interest to know when and in what form Darwin first expressed his ideas. In the original Diary of the voyage, he describes the effect of the sight of the reef-encircled Eimeo (Moorea), as seen from Tahiti on 17th November 1835, and on 12th April 1836, in his description of Cocos-Keeling, he plunges into his theory without further ado (this passage was much extended when the
