It would be interesting to know how Darwin would have explained to himself the most curious fact in his intellectual evolution; how he became a scientist. When he sailed in the Beagle he was a rather ordinary well-to-do young man, with great courage and much horse-sense, no academic qualifications whatever, a love of riding and shooting, a great interest in

Darwin's letter to Owen is written in the friendly tone which prevailed in all their correspondence since shortly after the return of the Beagle. The draft of Owen's reply is likewise cordial, but somewhat defensive, as if he were already reinsuring his position, and establishing a priority of method and principle. Owen must have written again to Darwin, to ask him for the

Carranchas kill wounded animals; but Mr. Bynoe (the surgeon of the Beagle) saw one seize in the air a live partridge, which, however, escaped, and was for some time chased on the ground. I believe this circumstance is very unusual: at all events there is no doubt that the chief part of their sustenance is derived from carrion. A person will discover their necrophagous habits by walking out on one of the desolate plains, and there lying down to sleep: when he awakes, he will see on each surrounding
