 a masterly treatment of the subject, under the following separate headings: 



I. Introductory remarks. Situation, number, and size of the diflerent islands 



of the archipelago; geological formation; climate, etc.; date of their 

 discovery; attempts at colonization; subsequent intercourse with the 

 mainland, and its eflV^ct on the indigenous fauna; Dr, Ilabel's account 

 of his visit (pp. 447-4(51).
