although there is a considerable elasticity in the valve, it yields to 

 a very gentle force properly applied. We are greatly indebted to 

 the careful and exact investigations of Darwin in the science of 

 botany. A mossy-looking plant in a half-stagnant pool is full of 

 interest to him, and proves, on examination, to be a real curiosity 

 in natural history. 



Our ramble is now brought to a close. We have sei«i many 

 things of interest; but not a tithe of what there is to be seen. The 

 geologist might spend weeks in exploring the rocks, and in 

 examining the different veins of iron, slate, and copper ; some of 

 which will no doubt, in the future, be fully explored and opened 

 out. The botanist might also find in the exploration of the valleys, 

 streams, and hills, work for many days, while the lover of 

 scenery would delight in the never-ending change of the prospect 

 — in cloud and sunshine — "ever changing ever new."
