The only mammals are rats, brought by a wrecked vessel and said by Mr. Waterhouse to be common English rats, " but smaller and more brightly coloured ; " so that we have here an illustration of how soon a difference of race is established under a constant and uniform difterence of conditions. There are no true land-b...irds, but there are snipes and rails, both apparently common Malayan species. Reptiles are represented by one small lizard, but no account of this is given in the Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle, and we may therefore conclude that it was an introduced species. Of insects, careful collecting only produced thirteen species belonging to eight distinct orders.
