Narrative of the surveying voyages of his majesty's ships Adventure and Beagle (vol.2- Appendix): between the years 1826 and 1836 : describing their examination of the southern shores of South America, and the Beagles's circumnavigation of the globe

MEMORANDUM. The greater number of the articles in this Appendix are placed as required for reference while reading the volume to which they belong (vol. ii.) ; and the arrangement, or rather non-arrangement, of the rest, depended upon circumstances which I could not alter ; though quite aware how disorderly the group of documents would appear. If they should ever require to be reprinted, or even if a part should demand further attention from me, it will be easy to dispose them differently.
