<p>From accounts published since our voyage, and more especially from several interesting letters from <abbr>Capt.</abbr> Sulivan, R. N., employed on the survey, it appears that we took an exaggerated view of the badness of the climate on these islands. But when I reflect on the almost universal covering of peat, and on the fact of wheat seldom ripening here, I can hardly believe that the climate in summer is so fine and dry as it has lately been represented. <cite>—Charles Darwin</cite> <a href="chapter-9.xhtml#noteref-98" epub:type="backlink">↩</a></p>

<p>Lesson’s Zoology of the Voyage of the Coquille, tom. <span epub:type="z3998:roman">I</span> page 168. All the early voyagers, and especially Bougainville, distinctly state that the wolf-like fox was the only native animal on the island. The distinction of the rabbit as a species, is taken from peculiarities in the fur, from the shape of the head, and from the shortness of the ears. I may here observe that the difference between the Irish and English hare rests upon nearly similar characters, only more strongly marked. <cite>—Charles Darwin</cite> <a href="chapter-9.xhtml#noteref-99" epub:type="backlink">↩</a></p>
