In the history of biology three great personages stand out: Aristotle, Linnaeus, and Darwin. In part, their greatness consisted in versatility. As far as Darwin is concerned, his stature is only fully appreciated when we remember that, besides his major achievement, the doctrine of evolution, he wrote on such disparate subjects as volcanic islands, the origin of coral reefs, the formation of vegetable mould through the action of earth-worms, insectivorous plants, movement in plants

Darwin's volume, The Formation of Vegetable Mould, through the action of Worms, with Observations on their Habits, was not published until 1881. The worm-stone, designed by Charles's son Horace, which was used for measuring the subsidence owing to the action of worms, is still to be seen (1967) in the garden at Down House in Kent. 2 Thomas Drummond, R.E., 1797-1840; introduced

2. Evidence of marine organisms: barnacles (Balani) and calcareous tube worms (Serpula), being adherent organisms, would give unequivocal evidence of marine conditions in situ, but any fragments of calcareous shelly material would be indicative. 3. Roads R2 and R3 terminate on both sides of the hill of Bohuntine, where Glen Roy and the smaller Glen Collarig open into Glen Spean (Figure 1). On Darwin's hypothesis their termination was due to greater tidal action in the wider valley. 4. Lauder

different characteristics might be brought out by selective breeding. His other interests in the fauna at Down were confined to the bees and to the worms on whose habits he wrote a book which sold 3500 copies in 1881. Between 1854 and 1861 Charles studied the movements of the male Humble Bees and particularly the places where, on their wanderings, each bee would stop and buzz for a few moments before resuming its journey. This habit fascinated him and he enlisted the help of his children who

He had indeed published papers on mould in 1838 and in 1840 (Nos 1648 1655). The famous 'worm-stone' is still to be seen at Down House. The book was remarkably successful, selling 6,000 copies within a year, and 13,000 before the end of the century. To begin with it

eleventh thousand of 1872, to be the definitive text as Darwin left it. There is a faint hint on the title page that perhaps the text should be collated; and indeed when this is done there are found to be author's changes, small but nevertheless there. The definitive text is therefore that of 1876, and not of 1872 as is usually stated. Another good example is found in Vegetable mould and worms. Each of the first seven thousands has a diffèrent title page, all but the first of them stating the

The twenty-third thousand of The descent of man appeared in one volume in 1888, and the same thousand is given on the title page of the second issue of the two volume Library Edition of 1891. The latter, which goes out of sequence, is presumably a misprint. In Vegetable mould and worms, the editions of 1897 and 1904 are both called thirteenth thousand. The latter cannot be merely a new title page for unsold stock because the text is entirely reset. Thirteenth is presumably a misprint in 1904

islands is not known, and Cape de Verde is retained long afterwards in issues of the Journal of researches printed from stereos. However Darwin had no copyright in his Journal and only Cape Verde is found in Vegetable mould and worms which was first published in 1881. There is also one small change in sense in Chapter XIV. The details of these changes can be found in Peckham. In 1878, and subsequently, the same stereos were used for the very many issues which appeared, in a variety of bindings
