Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of Researches Into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries Visited During the Voyage of H. M. S. Beagle Round the World: Under the Command of Capt. Fitz Roy, R. N
I have myself published separate volumes on the 'structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs on the 'volcanic Islands visited during the Voyage of the Beagle and on the Geology of South America.' The sixth volume of the Geological Trans actions' contains two papers of mine on the Erratic Boulders and Volcanic Phenomena of South America. Messrs. Water house, Walker, Newman, and White, have published several able papers on the Insects which were collected, and I trust that many others will hereafter follow. The plants from the southern parts of America will be given by Dr. J. Hooker, in his great work on the Botany of the Southern Hemisphere. The Flora of the Galapagos Archipelago is the subject of a separate memoir by him, in the 'linnean Transactions.' The Reverend Professor Henslow has published a list of the plants collected by me at the Keeling Islands; and the Reverend J. M. Berkeley has de scribed my cryptogamic plants.
