OverviewExcerpt from Geological Observations on the Volcanic Islands and Parts of South America Visited During the Voyage of H. M. S. Beagle The first edition of my Geological Observations on the Volcanic Islands, ' visited during the voyage of h.m.s. Beagle, ' under the command of Capt. Fitz Roy, r.n., was published, with the approval of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, in the year 1844; and my Observations on South America, ' in 1846. As both these works are now out of print, and as I believe that they still contain matter of scientific value, it has appeared to me advisable that they should be republished. They relate to parts of the world which have been so rarely visited by men of science, that I am not aware that much could be corrected or added from observations subsequently made.
