February 16, 2015 -- I have not made any new entries on this blog recently, but that does not mean I have not been writing and speaking on the topic of the 1905-06 Galapagos scientific collecting expedition from the California Academy of Science. By way of an update, I am nearing completion of my manuscript on the expedition for Oxford University Press, and I will certainly update here when the book appears in print. Cheers! Matt James
