Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flora of the Galapagos Islands The bryophytes and thallophytes, as yet known to occur on the Galapagos Islands, are so few that they cannot be supposed in any adequate sense representative of the great groups to which they belong. It has, therefore, seemed best to exclude them from the tabular statistics. It may be remarked, however, that their inclusion would not have significantly altered the numerical relations presented.

In preparing for this expedition the California Academy purchased the U. S. Ship Ernest, a two masted schooner of eighty-seven tons burden, and after refitting, rechristened her the Academy. Our party consisted of eleven members, as follows: R. H. Beck, chief; F. X. Williams, entomologist; W. H. Ochsner, geologist and conchologist; J. R. Slevin, herpetologist; J. S. Hunter and E. W. Gifford, ornithologists; E. S. King, assistant herpetologist; Frederick T. Nelson, mate; J. Parker, navigator; James W. White, cook; and myself, botanist. All of the scientific members of the expedition Shipped as seamen, so that the expedition was made up mostly of sailor-scientists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Galapagos Tortoises A warm interest of the Museum authorities in the Giant land tortoises has led to the acquisition of so many notable specimens, through liberal exchanges and purchases, as to demand a revision of portions of the collection, especially of that portion directly pertaining to the Galapagos Archipelago. This forms the reason for the following article. It is based mainly on partial specimens, 15. E., carapaces and sternums, but it is thus that these tortoises are most generally known, thus that they are most widely, and most commonly represented in descriptions, figures, and collections. A few attempts have been made at complete characterization of the species by including the anatomical features; these were founded on single specimens, and the individuals of the species are found to differ too much to admit of accurate distinctions unless confirmed by averages secured from repeated dissections, for which much of the material and the labor has yet to be supplied. The Galapagos Islands form an isolated group in the eastern Pacific on the equator about 6° west of Ecuador, or in other words, they are Situated between 89° and 92° of west longitude and between 1° 30' south and 2° north latitude. The largest of them is about eighty miles long and at its widest is about fifty miles wide; from this the sizes vary to some that are mere points of rock or shoals. They are separated from the mainland by more than four hundred miles of deep sea, a thousand fathoms or more in depth. The Wide separation from the continent, their considerable distances from one another, with great differences in altitudes and consequent variations in climate and fertility give them exceptional attractions in the eyes of naturalists. Here if anywhere they might hope to find the species of the flora and fauna distinct from those of the world around them and here it might be possible to trace their development and derivation. Questions of origin go back to the advent of the islands themselves; neither in case of lands, plants, nor animals have the questions been answered with any great degrees of satisfaction. Some authorities have decided that the islands are oceanic, that they never were connected with the continent, but were pushed up from the sea-bottom by the numerous volcanoes they contain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Avifauna of the Galapagos Islands My study reached a point where it became apparent that a satis factory end could not be attained without examining more of the material of former writers, notably the birds collected by Darwin that served Gould as the basis for the first published descriptions of Galapagos Species. Perhaps four-fifths of the types of birds described from the Galapagos are contained in the British Museum, in the Rothschild Museum at Tring, England, and in the United States National Museum, mostly in the first two institutions. In the Spring of 1930 it proved possible for me to make the necessary trip, and I visited the British Museum and the Rothschild Museum in the interval between April 27 and June 13, and the United States National Museum on my way home the latter part of June, having abundant Opportunity to examine all of the Galapagos material in those several institutions.
