New York, May 8.-Professor H. e.
Champion, curator of invetebrate 20
ology in the American Museum of Nat
ural History, will leave New York
week from Sunday by way of San
Francisco for the South Sea Islands.
He will be absent for about eight
months and will continue his study OF
snails begun for the museum in 1906,
and continued with q grant from the
Carnegie Institute in 1907 and 1905.
You may think that there is not
much in snails," said Professor Cramp-
ton yesterday. THE fact that some
snails are red and some are brown,
that some twist in one way and some
in another does not seem very thrill
ing. Most OF my friends ask me why
don't come and dig snails in their

fer about the most remarkable illustra-
ton of Darwin's theory OF evolution
that we have at the present time.
Notice in the map of Tahiti the
valleys extending from the inland to
the coast. In each of these valleys the
| snails live In the warm, moist jungle.
They cannot get over the ridges, and
SO each colony develops along its own
lines. Sometimes q few manage to
wiggle over q ridge and start colony
of their own. There are a great CON-
motion and many signs of an evolution
going on now among them.
