Abstract
IT is well known that Charles Darwin began to advocate his famous doctrine of evolution after his voyage on board H.M.S. Beagle as naturalist, in the course of which he went to South America, Africa, and Oceania, and founded the theory of natural selection; but it has been a matter of regret among men of science throughout the world that the famous old ship had passed out of sight. As the result of careful inquiries, however, by Mr. Shigetaka Shiga, a renowned geographer in Japan, it has now been ascertained what was the ultimate fate of the Beagle.
