This transcription of notes made by Charles Darwin during the
voyage of H. M. S. Beagle records his observations of the animals
and plants that he encountered, and provides a valuable insight
into the intellectual development of one of our most influential
scientists. Darwin drew on many of these notes for his well known
Journal of Researches (1839), but the majority of them have
remained unpublished. This volume provides numerous examples of his
unimpeachable accuracy in describing the wide range of animals seen
in the course of his travels, and of his closely analytical
approach towards every one of his observations. Only at the very
end of the voyage were his first doubts about the immutability of
species expressed consciously, but here are to be found the initial
seeds of his theory of evolution, and of the fields of behavioural
and ecological study of which he was one of the founding fathers.
