Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the Strait of Magellan in the 19th century. The author, a naturalist on board the HMS Nassau, provides a detailed account of his observations and experiences during a scientific expedition to survey the region. He meticulously documents the flora and fauna he encounters, from the vibrant butterflies of Madeira to the unique marine life of the Strait. His descriptions bring to life the diverse and often challenging environments he navigates, from the scorching sun of the Cape Verde Islands to the tumultuous waters of the Bay of Biscay. He also provides insightful observations on the local inhabitants, including the Patagonians and the Fuegian Indians, shedding light on their customs and interactions with European explorers. The book offers a valuable contribution to the history of natural history exploration, revealing the wonders of a region that was still relatively unknown in the mid-19th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of careful observation and scientific inquiry in understanding the complexities of the natural world.

A rare account of an exploration of the Strait of Magellan. Cunningham was appointed naturalist aboard the Nassau, a steamer sent to survey the Strait and the adjacent channels. This book contains a narrative of the voyage and natural history descriptions. Cunningham's own interest was in the ornithology of the region (after the voyage he published various pieces in the IBIS on the subject), but he also discusses the botany of the area, mentioning his collections of plants in the Royal Herbarium, Kew, and promising articles on the reptiles, amphibia, fishes, mollusca, and crustacea in LINNEAN TRANSACTIONS. His natural history connections were evidently impeccable, since he acknowledges the help of Hooker, Huxley, Newton, Flower, Sclater, Salvin, Gray, Gunther, and Baird. The folding map shows Patagonia, with an inset of the Strait of Magellan. Though the present copy bears the bookplate of noted collector Kenneth Hill, there is no copy listed in the catalogue of the Hill Collection of Pacific Voyages at the University of California at San Diego. This copy also bears the bookplate of George Bennett, M.D., a Sydney doctor and leading figure in colonial science, closely involved with many of the newly established societies such as the Australian Museum, the Acclimatization Society, and the Zoological Society. He corresponded with some of the prominent natural history figures of the day such as Richard Owe, and was John Gould's agent in Sydney. He was himself the author of two excellent travel books (WANDERINGS IN NEW SOUTH WALES [1834] and GATHERINGS OF A NATURALIST IN AUSTRALIA [1860]). xvi,[2],517pp. plus twenty-one lithographic plates (some colored) and colored folding map. Original green cloth, spine gilt. Some slight spotting on binding. Hinges a bit weak but holding. Occasional light foxing on text leaves. Still a very good copy, with the bookplate of George Bennett (see below) and of noted collector Kenneth Hill.
