Dec 27– From Voyage of the Beagle by Charles Darwin (1839)
Summary: Darwin goes to the Galapagos.
Commentary: I expect better from Darwin then, "This archipelago consists of ten principal islands, of which five exceed the others in size." That's like when my dad says, "It's always in the last place you look, because then you stop looking."
The famous finch picture is in this section:
though there isn't a ton of discussion. There's a similarly small bit about the tortoises, mostly about riding them and hunting them.
