books [ 87 ] aPPenDix a v Books Darwin sCHoLars are indebted to R. B. Freeman for his annotated bibliographic list, The Works of Charles Darwin (1977). The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, under the Command of Captain Fitzroy, During the Years 1832 to 1836. Edited and superintended by Charles Darwin. Smith Elder, London. 5 parts. 1838–43. 632 pp., including 166 plates. Darwin’s authors were Richard Owen (Part 1—Fossil Mammalia ), George Robert Waterhouse (Part 2—Mammalia), John Gould (Part 3—Birds), Leonard Jenyns (Part 4—Fish), and Thomas Bell (Part 5—Reptiles). Darwin superintended the production of this work, contributed introductions to parts 1 and 2, added notes of habits and ranges to parts 2 and 3, and allowed his collection labels to be used in parts 4 and 5. Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of His Majesty’s Ships Adventure and Beagle, etc. Edited by Robert FitzRoy. Henry Colburn , London. 3 vols. 1839. Volume 1 was authored by Captain King, and volume 2 was written by Captain FitzRoy. Volume 3 was written by Charles Darwin and was entitled Journal and Remarks, 1832–1836. It was 615 pages long and is what is now universally known as The Voyage of the Beagle. In 1839, Henry Colburn published this book in its own right as Journal of Researches into the Geology and [ 88 ] aPPenDix a Natural History of Various Countries Visited by H.M.S. Beagle Round the World Under the Command of Capt. Fitzroy, R. N. In 1845, John Murray published a second edition and modified the title to Journal of Researches into the Natural History and Geology and of Various Countries Visited by H.M.S. Beagle Round the World Under the Command of Capt. Fitzroy, R. N. An 1860 reprinting of the second edition by John Murray is considered the definitive edition of this work. The title The Voyage of the Beagle was first used in a 1905 printing by Harmsworth Library, London. The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs: Being the First Part of the Geology of the Voyage of the Beagle, under the Command of Capt. Fitzroy, R. N. During the Years 1832–1836. Charles Darwin. Smith Elder, London. 1842. 214 pp. 2nd ed. 1874; 3rd ed. 1889. Darwin reasoned that coral reefs and atolls resulted from upward coral growth that matched the subsidence of the ancient volcanoes upon which the corals grow. This theory was confirmed in the 1950s, when drilling on Pacific atolls revealed volcanic rock hundreds of meters below the surface. Geological Observations on the Volcanic Islands Visited During the Voyage of H. M. S. Beagle, Together with Some Brief Notices of the Geology of Australia and the Cape of Good Hope: Being the Second Part of the Geology of the Voyage of the Beagle, under the Command of Capt. Fitzroy, R. N. During the Years 1832–1836. Charles Darwin. Smith Elder, London. 1844. 175 pp. Geological Observations on South America: Being the Third Part of the Geology of the Voyage of the Beagle, under the Command of Capt. Fitzroy, R. N. During the Years 1832–1836. Charles Darwin. Smith Elder, London. 1846. 279 pp. Parts 2 and 3 of The Geology of the Beagle discussed earth movements and the minerals in granites and lava. They also are where Darwin originated the deformation theory of metamorphic rock.

In this work, the three volumes of The Geology of the Beagle (published in 1842, 1844, and 1846) were incorporated into one volume, as originally intended. In 1876, Smith Elder published a second edition, containing only Volcanic Islands and South America. A third edition appeared in 1891.
