) the mobile South American Continent furnishing Darwin with a theory founded on the mobility of the land surface. We must return to his voyage in the Beagle to witness the origin of his celebrated theory to account for the formation, structure, and distribution of Coral Reefs. When the Beagle arrived in view of the Keeling or Cocos Islands, situated in the Indian Ocean, and about 600 miles distant from the coast of Sumatra, Darwin paid particular attention to the formation of the islands as they

had not even a cabin to himself; while, in addition to the hindrances and interruptions incidental to sea-life, which can be appreciated only by those who have had experience of them, sea-sickness came on whenever the little ship was lively ; and, considering the circumstances of the cruise, that must have been her normal state. Nevertheless, Darwin found on board the Beagle that which neither the pedagogues of Shrewsbury, nor the professoriate of Edinburgh, nor the tutors of Cambridge had

his consent, and Charles posted off to Cambridge, sending, on his arrival late at night, a note to Henslow full of his hopes that 'the place is not given away.' Then followed a busy time in London, filled up by arrangements with his new chief, Captain FitzRoy, and with the admiralty, and by multitudinous shoppings. Finally all was settled, and the Beagle sailed on 27 Dec. 1831 on her memorable voyage. The Beagle was a 10-gun brig of 235 tons, and was commanded by Captain (afterwards Admiral

of the Beagle in the case of geology. Nevertheless Darwin was, in later life, inclined to doubt whether it was worth so much time as he gave to it, and during at least the latter part of the eight years (1846-54) he certainly grew very weary of the subject. It was during the early years at Down that his acquaintance with Sir Joseph (then Dr.) Hooker grew into intimacy. It became the chief friendship of his life, and has given us a rich store of letters which illustrate Darwin's life more fully

When the Beagle had rounded Cape Horn, Darwin found the same evidences of elevation on the western as on the eastern coast of South America. At Coquimbo he spent several days examining the step-formed terraces of shingle, first described by Capt. Basil

Beagle, when only one book could be carried on an expedition, chose a volume of Milton for his companion. Industry, intellectual interests, the capacity for taking pleasure in' deductive reasoning, in observation, in experiment, no less than in-the highest works of imagination : where these qualities are present any rational system of education should surely be able to make something of them. Unfortunately for Darwin, the Shrewsbury Grammar School, though good of its kind, was an institution

the outcome of the unflinching application to Biology of the leading idea and the method applied in the ' Principles ' to Geology.* Finally, it was through Henslow, and at his suggestion, that Darwin was offered the appointment to the Beagle as naturalist. During the latter part of Darwin's residence at Cambridge the prospect of entering the Church, though the plan was never formally renounced, seems to have grown very shadowy. Humboldt's ' Personal Narrative,' and Herschel's ' Introduction to

Lamarck. But in the eyes of the naturalist of the Beagle (and, probably, in those of most sober thinkers), the advocates of transmutation had done the doctrine they expounded more harm than good. Darwin's opinion of the scientific value of the ' Zoonomia ' has already been mentioned. His verdict on Lamarck is given in the following passage of a letter to Lyell (March, 1863) :— Lastly, you refer repeatedly to my view as a modification of Lamarck's doctrine of development and progression.

shipmate, deprecated any share in the flagitious opinions lately promulgated by the whilom naturalist of the Beagle : the ardour which, equally to the surprise as to the delight of the crowded audience, showed that scientific men like the Dr. Hooker and the young Mr. Lubbock of those days could be ready in debate. Only one of those who had a place on the platform seemed to be dissatisfied with the part he was playing; and I was not alone in thinking that this might chiefly be because the solution

, which has had a tremendous influence on the course of science. We will tell it on the basis of the information reported by Darwin himself, supplementing it with the necessary biographical data. In 1831, Darwin, who at the time was still a very young man just beginning his scientific career unknown to anyone except his personal acquaintances, was appointed as a naturalist on a scientific expedition sent by the British government to sail around the world on the ship The Beagle. The expedition

advance. An onlooker might have naturally believed that the ardent young observer would choose geology, and end by becoming one of the foremost leaders m that department of science. In his Journal of Researches, and in the letters from the Beagle just published, it is remarkable how much he shows the fascination that geology now had for him. He had thoroughly thrown off the incubus of Wernerianism. From Lyell's book and Sedgwick's personal influence he had discovered how absorbingly interesting is

within the limits of a review article, and the condensation, even if possible, would spoil the story, which must be left as told in the author s own words. Briefly, it may be stated here that he seems to have been first led to ponder over the question of the transmutation of species by facts that had come under his notice during the South American part of the voyage in the Beagle — such as the discovery of the fossil remains of huge animals akin to, but yet very distinct from, the living armadillos
