“It never occurred to me, that the productions of islands only a few miles apart, and placed under the same physical conditions, would be dissimilar. I, therefore, did not attempt to make a series of specimens from the separate islands. It is the fate of every voyager when he has just discovered what object in any place is more particularly worthy of his attention, to be hurried from it.”
Charles Darwin
