the beagle (Torfhund) occurs in the pile-dwellings of the same relative age, as well as in the lacustrine marls of Italy. Its uniformity of character in these three countries leads Dr. Rutimeyer to infer that it was exposed to like conditions of life, and probably that it was half wild, like the Australian dingo. In the Bronze Age a larger breed makes its appearance both in Switzerland and Denmark, probably imported by the bronze-using invaders, who drove out the ancient stone-using dwellers in

'Beagle,' as naturalist, I was much struck with certain facts in the distribution of the organic beings inhabiting South America, and in the geological relations of the present to the past inhabitants of that continent. These facts, as will be seen in the latter chapters of this volume, seemed to throw some light on the origin of species that mystery of mysteries, as it has been called by one of our greatest philosophers.
