The Present Volume is composed of CHARLES DARWIN'S Geological Observations on Coral Reefs, Volcanic Islands, and South America, which were published separately, at intervals, and constitute the Geology of the Voyage of the Beagle. The first part is on the Structures and Distribution of Coral Reefs; the second part contains descriptions of the Volcanic Islands visited during the expedition, together with a brief notice on the Geology of the Cape of Good Hope and of parts of Australia; the third and last part treats exclusively of South America, and contains all the geological observations, worth publishing... THIS BOOK IS A REPRINT FROM THE ORIGINAL BOOK OF 1851, WITH IMAGES AND MAPS.
