, wherein the phenomena of geographical distribution were shown to have so close a connection with geological changes, must have been diligently perused by Darwin on the voyage of the Beagle. We may believe, indeed, that it was in no small measure from their broad philosophical treatment and their suggestiveness to him in his own researches, that he conceived that deep respect and admiration for Lyell, to whom he was always proud to acknowledge his indebtedness. Darwin's two chapters on Geographical

be acquired, but not through human instruction. He has himself declared: I have always felt that I owe to the voyage the first real training or education of my mind. It was therefore no professional scientist who eagerly accepted the unsalaried post of naturalist to the Beagle expedition around the world, but a modest, though confident, youth of twenty-two whose most important article of outfit was the first volume of the first edition of Lyell's Principles of Geology, which had been published

and with whom he became very intimate, that Darwin, was invited to join the expedition of H.M S. Beagle, in the capacity of a naturalist. On December 27, 1831, Darwin sailed from England in the barque mentioned, and this voyage of circumnavigation occupied five years. It was regarded by him as the most important event of his life, and one that determined his whole career. After his return to England, in the autumn of 1836, he again spent a few weeks in Cambridge, where he was occupied in

Beagle, we must bear in mind the conditions under which it was undertaken. In the first place, he had only begun, a few months before, to turn his attention to the study of geology, and although he had doubtless worked hard at the subject during that brief interval, his knowledge and practical experience in it could hardly be other than limited. Further, it should be remembered that as the vessel was continually cruising from place to place, never remaining more than a short time at anchor, he had

lating in the Beagle, his notes of specimens and field-observations continued to grow in bulk. By the middle of the voyage, as he informed Henslow, they already filled some 600 quarto pages of manuscript, of which about the half related to geology18. The perusal of the second and third volumes of the Principles of Geology, which had now been published and were sent out to him, increased his devotion to Lyellian views. He even remarks that he was inclined to carry some parts of the doctrine to

ments of the crust of the earth, both in an upward and downward direction, have long held an honoured place in the literature of physical geology. He was the first observer who could devote himself to this department of investigation by personal research and comparison over a vast area of the surface of the globe, and could thus generalise in it upon a basis of his own experience in the field. During the very first halt of the Beagle at the Cape de Verde Islands, his attention was drawn to

examining. His contributions to this subject have long been prized by geologists for their fullness and clearness, and for their interest and value in relation to the great problem of the secular elevation of land. He himself had no doubt that they were solid additions to geological science, and such, I venture to anticipate, will be the judgment of posterity. After the close of the voyage of the Beagle, when Darwin had found time to study his collections and to reflect upon his varied experiences

the vessel finally shaped her course towards home. His letters show how eagerly, as each chance presented itself, to use his own words, he set to work with a good will at my old work of geology41. From St Helena he wrote to Henslow that he was very anxious to belong to the Geological Society42. This desire was speedily fulfilled. His work on the Beagle had become widely known by the publication of excerpts from his letters to Henslow. His scientific reputation had consequently been so well

it, was first forced upon Darwin's mind by his South American observations during the voyage of the Beagle; and we may be sure that his experience in this same country, teeming with innumerable and varied forms of life, confirmed and deepened his convictions as to the importance of adaptation and thus prepared the way for Natural Selection. Wallace, too, at first travelled in South America, and only later in the parts of the Old World tropics which stand next to South America in richness. Asa

increasing satisfaction with his geological work. The voyage fortunately extended to a much longer period (five years) than the two originally intended, but after being absent nearly three years, Darwin wrote to his sister in November, 1834, Hurrah! hurrah! it is fixed that the Beagle shall not go one mile south of Cape Tres Montes (about 200 miles south of Chiloe), and from that point to Valparaiso will be finished in about five months.

beyond it he took great interest and felt intense delight in poetry and music, and to a less extent in pictures. Thus on the voyage of the Beagle, when it was only possible to take a single volume on an expedition, he always chose Milton. Later on in life, he says that his mind underwent a change. He found poetry intolerably dull and could not endure to read a line of it; he also almost lost his taste for pictures and much of his former exquisite pleasure in fine scenery, while music set him

It was on returning from this trip that he found a letter from Henslow informing him that Captain Fitzroy was willing to give up part of his cabin to any young man who would volunteer without pay to act as naturalist on the classical voyage of the Beagle. Captain Fitzroy was going out to survey the southern coast of Tierra del
