1846Best.-Nr. NF3922The natural history of these islands is eminently curious and well deserves attention. Most of the organic productions are aboriginal creations found nowhere else; there is even a difference between the inhabitants of the different islands; yet all show a marked relationship of America though separated from that continent by a open space of ocean between 500 and 600 miles in width. The archipelago is a little world within itself or rather a satellite attached to America whence it has derived a few stray colonists and has received the general character of its indigenous productions. Considering the small size of these islands we feel The more astonished at the number of their aboriginal beings and at their confined range. Seeing every height crowned with its crater and the boundaries of most of the lava-streams still distinct we are led to believe that within a period geologically recent the unbroken ocean was here spread out. Hence both in space and time we seem to be brought somewhat near to that great fact Ð that mystery of mysteries Ð the first appearance of new beings on this earth"------Charles Darwin Journal of Researches into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries visited during the Voyage of H.M.S.
