adapts his views on mountain elevation too closely to those enunciated by Elie de Beaumont. The third part of the geology of the Beagle, entitled Geological Observations on South America, was not published till 1846. Even this did not exhaust the contributions to geology made from the Beagle voyage, for it did not include the papers on the Connection of certain Volcanic Phenomena in South America (1838); on the Distribution of Erratic Boulders (1841); on the Fine Dust which falls on 1 Mr. John

The midshipmen's berth have all their meals an hour before us, and the gun-room an hour afterwards. The crew of the Beagle consisted of Captain Fitz-Roy, Commander and Surveyor, two lieutenants, one of whom (the first lieutenant) was the late Captain Wickham, Governor of Queensland; the present Admiral Sir James Sulivan, K.C.B., was the second lieutenant. Besides the master and two mates, there was an assistant-surveyor, the present Admiral Lort Stokes. There were also a surgeon, assistant

. The best proof that Fitz-Roy was valued as a commander is given by the fact that many* of the crew had sailed with him in the Beagle's former voyage, and there were a few officers as well as seamen and marines, who had served in the Adventure or Beagle during the whole of that expedition.

The conditions asked by Mr. Darwin were, that he should be at liberty to leave the Beagle and retire from the expedition when he thought proper, and that he should pay a fair share of the expenses of my table. Darwin had taken an ordinary or poll degree in 1831, and was admitted a Master of Arts in 1837. In the interval he had become truly a Master of Science, which at that time

Marvellous appearances of spiders far from land were also noted. One day when the ship was sixty miles from land vast numbers of a small gossamer spider arrived.

It was soon after taking his degree that Darwin had the appointment of Naturalist in the Beagle, the vessel in which the late Capt. Fitzroy made his surveying voyage,—extending over five years. The appointment arose in this way. Dean Peacock, at that time fellow of Trinity College, was intimate with Captain Fitzroy, and was applied to by the latter, as to whether he could not find some one among the Cambridge men, who would be fit and willing to accompany him in his voyage in the capacity of

preparing the ground for a coming revolution. Sedgwick was teaching geology with the fire of a prophet, and Henslow as a botanist was showing that lessons of enthralling interest were to be learned from the humblest flower. Henslow especially attracted young Darwin, who never forgot his old teacher. In the preface to the journal of his voyage in the Beagle he returns his most sincere thanks to Professor Henslow, who, he says, when I was an undergraduate at Cambridge, was one chief means of giving me a

He talked on all subjects, including his deep sense of religion, and was entirely open. I owe more than I can express to this excellent man. His kindness was steady. When Captain Fitzroy offered to give up part of his own cabin to any naturalist who would join the expedition in H.M.S. Beagle, Professor Henslow recommended me as one who knew

Then he would stretch himself on one side of the table, and obtain a brief relief from discomfort, after which he would resume work. Some remarks which Darwin makes upon slavery in South America are very forcible, and also illustrate his own sympathetic nature. Here is one incident which struck him more than any story

watchful eyes and are vividly described. In July, 1832, Monte Video was reached, and the Beagle was occupied in surveying the extreme southern and eastern coasts of America, south of La Plata, during the succeeding two years. During ten weeks at Maldonado an entertaining excursion to the River Polanco was made, and many a humorous remark appears in the Journal relating to it. The greater number of the inhabitants [of European descent] had an indistinct idea that England, London, and North America

Here it appeared that the Beagle would remain sometime longer, so the restless inquirer started on another expedition, this time up the Uruguay and Rio Negro. One of the halts was at the house of a very large landed proprietor. A friend of the proprietor's, a runaway captain from Buenos Ayres, was very anxious to have the traveller's

Thank God, we are not destined here to see the end of it, but hope then to be in the Pacific, where a blue sky tells one there is a heaven a something beyond the sky above our heads.

April Santiago was again arrived at, and Mr. Caldcleugh most hospitably welcomed the traveller, delighted with his expedition. Never, he says, did I more deeply enjoy an equal space of time. Various excursions in Northern Chili and Peru followed. Little was seen of Peru, owing to the troubled state of public affairs, and there was very little regret when the Beagle started early in September on her journey across the Pacific.

An interesting excursion to the Blue Mountains and to Bathurst showed many aspects of colonial life, as well as the strange duckbill or platypus in its native haunts. Tasmania, with which island Darwin was greatly pleased, was visited in February. In April the Keeling Islands furnished much of the material for the future

Vessels (1845); and on the Geology of the Falkland Islands (1846). A second edition of the two latter parts of The Geology of the Beagle was published in one volume in 1876. Meanwhile, after spending a few years of his early married life in London, during which he was often in illhealth, Darwin fixed his residence in 1842 at Down House, near Beckenham, Kent.
