his mother was a daughter of Josiah Wedgwood, the renowned Etrurian potter. Darwin's scientific career may be considered to have commenced by his appointment as naturalist to H.M. Surveying Ship 'Beagle,' under Captain, afterwards Admiral, Fitzroy. The 'Beagle' left England in 1831, and was absent for nearly five years. Soon after his return Darwin settled at Down, and from that time his life— a most uneventful one from a biographical point of view— was mainly devoted to those researches

Having had the privilege of personal acquaintance with the late Mr. Darwin, and still enjoying the friendship of Mr. Wallace, I cannot resist the pleasure of once more detailing the history of the birth of this theory, since this history conveys a lesson in scientific etiquette well worthy of those from whom the doctrine emanated. Having been struck during the voyage of the 'Beagle' by

Les Fuégiens paraissent, sous ce rapport, se trouver dans un état intermédiaire, car lorsque, à bord du Beagle, le chirurgien tua quelques canards pour enrichir sa collection, Yorck Minster s'écria de la manière la plus solennelle : « Oh ! M. Bynoe, beaucoup de pluie, beaucoup de neige, beaucoup de vent ; » c'était évidemment là pour lui la punition qui devait nous atteindre, car nous avions

Les Fuégiens, qui ne portent aucun vêtement, n'ont pour se nourrir que les productions marines de leurs plages inhospitalières ; les Botocudos du Brésil errent dans les chaudes forêts de l'intérieur, et se nourrissent principalement de produits végétaux ; cependant, ces tribus se ressemblent au point que des Brésiliens ont pris pour des Botocudos les Fuégiens, qui étaient abord du Beagle. En outre, les Botocudos, aussi

Cette pratique règne dans tout le continent américain, de l'île Vancouver au nord, à la Terre-de-Feu au midi.

supposed to be botany, but his observations on physical geography, geology, and zoology were quite as accurate and valuable as his botanical researches. The full results of this memorable voyage came slowly to light. Captains King and Fitzroy had the pas over the young naturalist in the race for glory, and besides, they had to bring up the geographical arrears of that earlier Voyage of the Beagle, performed when Darwin was still at the universities.

Darwin's theory, which is beginning to find acceptance; but even it universally accepted it will not detract from the original estimate of the work of the Beagle naturalist. Still further, we have as direct result of the voyage in a volume, published in 1844, on the Volcanic Islands visited during the Voyage of the Beagle. and in 1846, Geological Observations in South America.

with the conduct of the publication of the scientific results obtained by the expedition of the 'Beagle.' His co-labourers were Owen, who described the fossil Mammalia; Waterhouse, who published the recent Mammals. Gould undertook the birds; but, being sent into Australia, he left this work to Darwin, who obtained the aid of Gray, as it is hardly necessary to say. However, two great memoirs, called Introductions, one upon geology considered in its relations with the extinct mammalogical species

Although known at this time to only a small circle of scientific friends, his abilities as a naturalist soon became more widely recognised; and in 1831, when the Hon. Capt. Fitzroy — afterwards better known as Admiral Fitzroy, of meteorological fame — was ordered, with the 'Adventure' and 'Beagle,' to survey the coasts of Antarctic America, Charles Darwin was appointed Naturalist to the Expedition. He sailed in December, 1831, and returned in October, 1836, during which interval he visited the

Darwin, after this, became a pupil of Henslow, Professor of Botany at Cambridge, and he also derived much information on geology from Professor Sedgewick, also at Cambridge. Darwin was early appointed Naturalist to Her Majesty's ship the Beagle, under the command of Captain (afterwards Admiral) Fitzroy. The ship sailed in December 1831. It circumnavigated the globe, and did not return till 1836. The Report of the voyage was drawn up by Captain Fitzroy and Mr Darwin; the latter furnishing the

Mr Henslow, Professor of Botany at Cambridge, recommended him therefore to Captain Fitzroy and the Lords of the Admiralty in 1831, when a naturalist was to be chosen to accompany the second surveying expedition of H.M.S. Beagle in the Southern seas. The first expedition that of the Adventure and Beagle 1826-30 had explored the coasts of Patagonia; the Beagle

Mr. Darwin graduated from Christ's College, Cambridge, in 1831, and in the same year he accompanied the ship Beagle, in her scientific circumnavigation of the globe, as the naturalist of the expedition. On his return to England he published a journal of the voyage. He afterward prosecuted his scientific investigations in England. He

He had been ailing for some days, but was supposed to be recovering, when he had a relapse on Tuesday night. Mr. Darwin was in his seventy-fourth year. He first became known as a naturalist by his work on the Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle, which vessel he accompanied in her circumnavigation of the globe. His great work on the

on the futility of such missions between himself and a pious young lieutenant, during the voyage of the Beagle; his opponent having shown him, after thirty years, what good had been done by Christian missions amongst these savages. Darwin's death took place on Wednesday, 19th April 1882, at his house near Fanborough, in Kent, in his seventy-fourth year. His funeral took place on the 26th April, and his body was interred in Westminster Abbey. Amongst the numerous mourners present were dukes
