<p>This volume contains, in the form of a journal, a history of our voyage, and a sketch of those observations in natural History and geology, which I think will possess some interest for the general reader. I have in this edition largely condensed and corrected some parts, and have added a little to others, in order to render the volume more fitted for popular reading; but I trust that naturalists will remember, that they must refer for details to the larger publications which comprise the scientific results of the expedition. The <i epub:type="se:name.publication.book">Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle</i> includes an account of the fossil mammalia, by Professor Owen; of the living mammalia, by <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Waterhouse; of the birds, by <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Gould; of the fish, by the <abbr>Rev.</abbr> <abbr epub:type="z3998:given-name">L.</abbr> Jenyns; and of the reptiles, by <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Bell. I have appended to the descriptions of each species an account of its habits and range. These works, which I owe to the high talents and disinterested zeal of the above distinguished authors, could not have been undertaken, had it not been for the liberality of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty’s Treasury, who, through the representation of the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer, have been pleased to grant a sum of one thousand pounds towards defraying part of the expenses of publication.</p>
<p>I have myself published separate volumes on the <i epub:type="se:name.publication.book">Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs</i>; on the <i epub:type="se:name.publication.book">Volcanic Islands visited during the Voyage of the Beagle</i>; and on the <i epub:type="se:name.publication.book">Geology of South America</i>. The sixth volume of the <i epub:type="se:name.publication.journal">Geological Transactions</i> contains two papers of mine on the erratic boulders and volcanic phenomena of South America. <abbr>Messrs.</abbr> Waterhouse, 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 <abbr>Dr.</abbr> <abbr epub:type="z3998:given-name">J.</abbr> 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 <i epub:type="se:name.publication.journal">Linnean Transactions</i>. The Reverend Professor Henslow has published a list of the plants collected by me at the Keeling Islands; and the Reverend <abbr epub:type="z3998:given-name">J. M.</abbr> Berkeley has described my cryptogamic plants.</p>
<p>I shall have the pleasure of acknowledging the great assistance which I have received from several other naturalists, in the course of this and my other works; but I must be here allowed to return my most sincere thanks to the Reverend Professor Henslow, who, when I was an undergraduate at Cambridge, was one chief means of giving me a taste for Natural History⁠—who, during my absence, took charge of the collections I sent home, and by his correspondence directed my endeavours⁠—and who, since my return, has constantly rendered me every assistance which the kindest friend could offer.</p>
