an authoritative overview). The bulk of the animals, plants, rocks and fossils which Darwin collected was well cared for when it reached England and, by the standards of many early nineteenth century voyages of discovery, Darwin was well served by the mineralogists, palaeontologists, botanists and zoologists he recruited to describe those specimens which he did not wish to deal with himself, such as the barnacles and arrow worms. One of the few groups of animals from the voyage never properly

chamber. Here according to Hoffmeister, one or several worms pass the winter rolled up into a ball. These chambers contained many small bits of stones and husks of the flax seeds. . . . The sole conjecture which I can form why worms line their winter-quarters with little stones and seeds, is to prevent their closely coiled up bodies from coming into close contact with the surrounding cold soil; and such contact would perhaps interfere with their respiration which is effected by the skin alone

rates of bioturbation remains one of the most difficult tasks to perform in ichnology. Tracer beds such as those used by Darwin are still being used today (Glass, 1969; Ruddiman and Glover, 1972; Guinasso and Schink, 1975; Boudreau, 1986). Darwin's little book on worms, therefore, is a treatise on neoichnology and underscores one of the main tenets of ichnology: cumulative effects of the activities of organisms, be they worms, fiddler crabs, or boring sponges, can have a dramatic effect on the

CD began observing the action of worms in 1827, 54 years prior to his publication, and continued working on them throughout his life (see Gould's revealing foreword to the 1985 Chicago reprint).

those involving some kind of adjustment, such as learning. He held, further, that simple reflex actions must not be confused with behavior involving a considerable amount of integrative activity. His reasons for believing that a worm's behavior is more elaborate than a set of simple reflexes are of some interest. He observes that when worms are active at some task, their sensitivity to minute changes in light intensity decreases; this is compared to attention in higher organisms. *  Worms, p. 24

This work is largely concerned with the mental powers of worms, but treats also of their ecological and geological importance.

Second, Darwin was aware that farmers might spread shells over their fields as fertiliser (FN: 9) but he did not see enough agricultural land to develop criteria for recognition of such an origin. Third, Darwin also knew that the aborigines gathered shellfish for food and left the shells close to their campsites. [page] 47 Charles Darwin's field notes a modern appraisa

We noted this in the case of the octopus at St Jago in the Cape Verde Islands, and the flat-worms he found in Tasmania.
