Captain Fitz-Roy's clerk was drowned and buried ashore with ceremony. A matter of much interest to all on board the Beagle was the Captain's purchase of a one-hundred-and-seventyton schooner to assist in his labors. I had often anxiously longed for a consort

At this time he was relishing an armadillo roasted in its shell, and was digging for fossil armadillos in a perfect catacomb of extinct races. It was curious to see very curious indeed how armadillos had been created so different in size, so similar in pattern. At just what moment, by what means, had this recent species been called into being ? All manner of ancient monsters were exhumed. There was an extinct kind of

The treatise was still influential and a pride to its author real scientist though he was in 1833. Darwin was learning a sympathy for him and all the host of Goliath in England, but it was a sympathy of which Buckland could not be proud. December6.

Darwin's way of dealing with new evidence. The Beagle sailed from Woollya to the Falklands for the second time, remaining there a month. It was a gloomy visit. There had been a mutiny of the Indian and Gaucho soldiers, who had murdered five of the twenty-three settlers, driven the rest to live on shell-fish, and pillaged the houses. The survivors were saved by a detachment of marines from H. M. S. Challenger, a vessel whose record was to be spread at great length in Fitz-Roy's log of the

murder was not confessed till a month later. It was a deed that Darwin had plotted ever since his return from the Beagle voyage. Before the end of 1837 he had decided that fixity of species must die. He had been jotting down all sorts of thoughts on the subject, just as they happened into his mind: The tree of life should perhaps be called the coral of life base of branches dead, so that passage can not be seen.

In the nine years after he returned from the voyage, or between his twenty-seventh and thirty-sixth years, he wrote the first series, including his pre-evolutionary geological and zoological works, his Coral Reefs (1842), his Zoology and Geology of the Voyage of the Beagle (1844 1846), his Journal of Researches, the popular
