Darwinite

Oh, but, guesses our ingenious Darwinite, in this breed the male birds courted the bright-coloured ones and neglected the others, and thus a bright-coloured race has survived by natural selection.

Our introduction to the amazing wildfowl in the north was at the end of a forty-mile run, due east of Darwin near the Adelaide River, with Jim Ward, a Darwinite, at the wheel of a highpowered car.

The name Darwinite has been adopted in honour of Darwin, whose admirable geological examination of this part of South America is so well known as to require no comment.
