not far from Chobham Camp. At that time summer man uvres on any large scale were almost unknown, and our visit was planned in order to see what we could of the camp with its mimic warfare. I well remember my father's intense enjoyment of the whole experience. Admiral Sulivan, his old shipmate on board the Beagle, showed us about and greatly added to our pleasure. I remember sharing in the glow of my father's happy excitement, and can almost hear the jingle of the galloping horses. We nearly had

SIR C. LYELL TO A. R. WALLACE 73 Harley Street. March 13, 1869. Dear Wallace, I am reading your new book,1 of which you kindly sent me a copy, with very great pleasure. Nothing equal to it has come out since Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle. The history of the Mias is very well done. I am not yet through the first volume, but my wife is deep in the second and much taken with it. It is so rare to be able to depend on the scientific knowledge and accuracy of those who have so much of the wonderful

fact is that no one goes into such a piece of work as his Barnacles upon a cut and dried motive. When once begun various motives supervene or grow that direct the course adopted to this and that end. Your father recognized in conversation with me three stages in his career as biologist, the mere collector, in Cambridge c.; the collector and observer, in the Beagle and for some years after; and the trained naturalist after, and only after, the Cirripede work. That he was a thinker all along is true

Never once, in the give and take of lively converse did I hear one word of self-assertion or provocation. If any statement was doubted, and was to be controverted or corrected, it was never denied or contradicted.' The formula in constant use was, But, don't you think? The four years' voyage on the Beagle, entailing on Mr. Darwin constant seasickness, left him weakly for life, and needing constant attention to regular and simple habits of life. He lived a life of self-restraint. So much work

XII BOTANICAL WORK SUCH, then, was the central current of Darwin's scientific work for the forty-one years since he set out on the Beagle first, the scientific reports of the voyage of the Beagle with the theory of coral reefs, the later monograph on the Cirripedes, and the Journal with its wider and more personal sweep and its first hints of doubt as to the fixity of species; then the upbuilding of the evolutionary theory and the collection of evidence as to the moulding of the succession of

; 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 managed to give him. I have always felt that

XIII GEOLOGY REVIVED: EARTHWORMS NOW, also, came a revival of his early geological interest, long thrust into the background by his other work. He was astonished to find that thirty years after their publication his books on Volcanic Islands and South America were still consulted by geologists, and new editions were required. These were re-issued in a single volume, Geological Observations on the Volcanic Islands and Parts of South America Visited During the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, in 1876

of the most sensible men in the world, at once consented in the kindest manner, but not without a subsequent touch of humour. For when Charles, having been rather extravagant at Cambridge, said, to console his father, that he would be deuced clever to spend more than his allowance when on board the Beagle, he replied with a smile: But they tell me you are very clever. One obstacle was surmounted; another, none the less formidable because ridiculous, awaited him. He posted off to Henslow at

classification and what naturalists meant by a species. And research impressed on him practically the variability of every part, in some slight degree, of every species (II, 37). But at the time, Sir Joseph Hooker tells us, he certainly appreciated its value to him as systematic training, for he recognized three stages in his career as a biologist the mere collector at Cambridge, the collector and observer in the Beagle and for some years afterwards, and the trained naturalist after, and only
