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).
