It should be stressed that the relationship of the South American and Gal pagos mockingbirds is exactly that which Darwin described in his autobiography: During the voyage of the Beagle I had been deeply impressed...by the South American character of most of the productions of the Galapagos archipelago, and more especially by the manner in which they differ slightly on each island of the group; none of these islands appearing to be very ancient in a geological sense.

On 28 March Darwin wrote to J. S. Henslow (note 148) telling of Brown's general interests in specimens from the Beagle voyage; on 10 April Darwin wrote to the English naturalist Leonard Jenyns [later Leonard Blomefield] (1800-1893): Tell Henslow, I think my silicified wood has unflintified Mr. Brown's heart

Two barometers were used at the river side, and a very good one was carefully watched on board the Beagle (at the level of the sea). Certainly the rapid descent of the river in many places was such, that even to the eye it appeared to be running down hill. This remark was often made in the course of our journey.

It is noteworthy that the three facts which started Darwin on his train of thought do not figure in this exposition, and this is a measure of the amount of consideration which Darwin had given to the problem between the time when he was in the Beagle and July 1837 when he opened his First Notebook on Transmutation of Species.
