The Galapagos.

Abstract

The Galapagos Islands are repeatedly mentioned in the classical observational literature of evolution and speciation and are much loved by Darwinophiles, but it is only with the publication of this Proceedings of the Galapagos International Scientific Project that a single compendium of the biological and physical knowledge of the Galapagos is available. This collection of 40 short papers, delivered as symp. osia to the participants of the Project at Berkeley and on shipboard before their short stay in early 1964 on the Galapagos, contains 58 pages of "General Scientific Studies" and 234 pages of "Specialized Scientific Studies" (The Physical Environment, Marine Biology, Terrestrial Biology and Applied Biology).
