		The rest of the island is composed of rolling hills and lesser peaks with volcanic plugs poking out here and there, all covered with coconut palms and acacias and lots of green and flowering trees and bushes.

	Charles Darwin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mammalia were ably taken on by George R. Waterhouse, and while the birds seemed almost an afterthought their assessment by the ornithologist John Gould startlingly revealed that what Darwin had taken to be wrens, flbirds and slightly differing finches from the GalÃ¡pagos were all separate species of finches.
		He developed the hypothesis that, for example, where every island in the GalÃ¡pagos Archipelago had its own kind of tortoise, these had originated from a single tortoise species and had adapted to life on the different islands in different ways.
		The 14 species of Finches he researched in the GalÃ¡pagos Islands are affectionately named "Darwin's Finches" in honour of his legacy.
