Notes for CD on a river trip to Mercedes on the Rio Negro [Uruguay].
Sketches the Beagle’s travels – Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, cruise to the south and return – and what the future holds. Writes with nostalgia of England and says he sees no end to the voyage.
He enjoys and has been lucky principally in geology and among pelagic animals; has found remains of large extinct animals.
