The voyage of the Beagle extended over a period of four years, from the beginning of 1832 to the end of 1835, so that the author had leisure

When her Majesty's ship Beagle was beached at Santa Cruz, in Southern Patagonia, numerous specimens were found adhering to her copper bottom, some so small as to show that the species breeds in those latitudes. Near Monte Video, in the estuary of La Plata, I found many large, but much corroded specimens
