To complement the systematic taxonomy, Charles Darwin himself integrates essential material from his field research, providing extensive "Notices of their Habits and Ranges."
Contents include:
These vital firsthand observations of distribution and behavior, such as the subtle yet crucial differences among island populations, formed the raw data that, upon his return to England, sparked Darwin's profound realisation of the mechanism of evolution.
