, where he took his degree of B.A. in 1831, and of M.A. in 1837. But between these two dates he accepted the invitation of Captain Fitzroy, of H.M.S. Beagle, to accompany him in a scientific expedition round the world. It sailed from England on the 27th of December, 1831, and did not return to it until the 22nd of October, 1836. Darwin's Journal of Researches, made during that long voyage, is one of the most interesting books of travel in the language, and it was while he was studying the

Darwin, both celebrated physicians and authors of worth relating to their professions. The subject of H. M. S. Beagle, offered to any naturalist who would accept it, a part of his cabin for a voyage of survey and observation around the world. This offer was gladly accepted by young Darwin, and from this circumstance dates the commencement of that wonderful career which has made its author one of the most noted characters in the history of science. The Beagle was four years and ten months in

flight. Anyhow this beetle could transport smaller individuals; and a single one would stock any isolated pond, as the species is an hermaphrodite form. Mr. Crick tells me that a shell of the same kind, and of about the same size, which he kept in water extruded two young ones, which seemed very active and able to take care of themselves. How far a Dytiscus could fly is not known; but during the voyage of the Beagle a closely-allied form, namely, a Colymbetes, flew on board when the nearest point

In 1839 he published a Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries Visited by H.M.S. Beagle; and in 1840-43, the Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle. These and other works gave him a wide and solid reputation, which was vastly extended in 1859, by the publication of a remarkable book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.

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 her Majesty's ship Beagle in the Southern Seas.

Origin of Species had never been written, if there had been no Darwinian hypothesis, the actual work he did would have been enough to gain him a reputation among the highest. His books on coral reefs, on the voyage of the Beagle, on minute vegetable anatomy, on domestication, on climbing plants, on the movements of plants, and, lastly, that marvellous book on earthworms which he published only last winter, form a list that would of themselves adorn the name of any other man of science Joined to his

Mr. Darwin, long before he became known to the general public, had achieved renown among his scientific brethren. His services as naturalist on board the Beagle during its five years' voyage round the world, and the results of which were given in his Journal of researches into the geology and natural history of the countries visited — gave him a place amongst the foremost of rising naturalists

. Mr. Darwin joined our ranks, as a life member, in 1838, not long after his return from his memorable voyage in the Beagle. We cannot of course claim him as a geographer, in the usual acceptation of the term, but as a scientific and observant traveller, taking in the whole range of the sciences, accurate in everything he recorded and fruitful in his reasoning, he was a typical geographer in the wider sense. In this respect his 'Journal of a Naturalist' may be regarded as a model, and it is a
