Simple circumstances such as the beauty of scarlet cloth or blue beads, the absence of women, our care in washing ourselves, excited their admiration far more than any grand or complicated object, such as our ship.

The view from the anchorage is very pretty. The town is built at the very foot of a range of hills, about 1600 feet high, and rather steep. From its position, it consists of one long, straggling street, which runs parallel to the beach, and wherever a ravine comes down, the houses are piled up on each side of it. The rounded hills

tile soil, resulting from the decomposition of the volcanic rocks, supports a rank vegetation, yet the climate is not favourable to any production which requires much sunshine to ripen it. There is very little pasture for the larger quadrupeds; and in consequence, the staple articles of food are pigs, potatoes, and fish. The people all dress in strong woollen garments, which each family makes for itself, and dyes with indigo of a dark blue colour. The arts, however, are in the rudest state; as

When we reached the crest and looked backwards, a glorious view was presented. The atmosphere resplendently clear; the sky an intense blue; the profound valleys; the wild broken forms; the heaps of ruins, piled up during the lapse of ages; the bright-coloured rocks, contrasted with the quiet mountains of snow; all these together produced a scene no one could have imagined

The power which the Government possesses, by means of forced labour, of at once opening good roads throughout the country, has been, I believe, one main cause of the early prosperity of this colony.

Mr. Darwin twice crossed the whole chain, by different passes, near Valparaiso, and from the lofty summit enjoyed, a 'glorious view,' perhaps unsurpassed upon the earth.

After adding iodine (dissolved in water with iodide of potassium) many particles of starch became visible by being coloured blue; but none were present in the first-described section.

The iodine did not cause their immediate disintegration of and disappearance of the orange masses; nor did alcohol or acetic acid.

As far as I could judge, both the granules included in within these cells as well as the cell-sap became, as far as I could judge, thus coloured. Irrigation with sulphuric ether did not affect the colour, though the many

Their precipitation by the ammonia solution seems to depend on the life of the cell; for some transverse sections were examined and found colourless, as well as destitute of granules; they were then irrigated with a sol. of 7 to 1000, and re-examined after 22 hrs; and only a very few cells in 2 out of the 5 sections showed any trace of colour, which, oddly enough was blue instead of green.

Affinities.—This species most closely resembles I. Cumingii, and cannot be distinguished externally, except by the absence of the blue colour on the marginal and interior portions of the valves; and this can hardly be ascertained without separating and cleaning them, owing to the blueness of the underlying corium. Internally some slight differences may be perceived in the form of the valves. Considering these so slight differences, it is highly remarkable that this species should be

Colour.—From some well-preserved dryed specimens in Mr. Stutchbury's possession, it appears that the sack, cirri and trophi, were dark blue, as in I.

the colour of this species when alive was blue:* in L. fascicularis the surface is punctured: in L. pectinata it is marked with curious points of various shapes, often star-shaped, in parts reticulated, and confluent along the dorsal margin, and in parts lined: in B. balanoides it is very obscurely punctured, and in B. Hameri the punctures pass into lines. The whole of what is externally visible consists of the carapace, for this is produced not only backwards, so as to enclose the thorax and
