Abstract
II. NO man of his time has exercised upon the science of Geology a profounder influence than Charles Darwin. At an early period he took much interest in geological studies, and all through life, while engaged in other pursuits, he kept himself acquainted with the progress that was being made in this department of natural knowledge. His influence upon it has been twofold. It arises partly from the importance and originality of some of his own contributions to the literature of the science, but chiefly from the bearing of his work on other branches of natural history.
