24 CHARLES DARWIN. 



Cape de Verde Islands, St. Paul's Rocks, Fernando 

 Noronha, South "America (including the Galapagos 

 Archipelago, the Falkland Islands, and Tierra del 

 Fuego), Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, Tasmania, 

 Keeling Island, Maldive Coral Atolls, Mauritius, St. 

 Helena, Ascension. Brazil was then visited again 

 for a short time, the Beagle touching at the Cape de 

 Verde Islands and the Azores on the voyage home. 



Darwin says, concerning the intellectual effect of 

 his work during the voyage : 



"That my mind became developed through my pursuits 

 during the voyage is rendered probable by a remark made by 

 my father, who was the most acute observer whom I ever saw, 

 of a sceptical disposition, and far from being a believer in 

 phrenology ; for on first seeing me after the voyage lie turned 

 round to my sisters, and exclaimed, ' Why the shape of his 

 head is quite altered ! ' " (I. c., pp. 63, G4).
