EDITORS COMMENTS
This glass-enclosed specimen jar holds the preserved remains of a Clinus crinitus, also known as the Galapagos Clingfish, a small bony fish native to the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The fish is displayed against a backdrop of intricately patterned sand, reminiscent of its natural habitat. This particular specimen was collected during the historic voyage of the HMS Beagle, led by the renowned naturalist Charles Darwin between 1831 and 1836. Darwin's groundbreaking discoveries during this journey significantly contributed to the scientific understanding of evolution and the development of the theory of natural selection. This Clinus crinitus, along with countless other specimens, was meticulously documented and collected by Darwin and his crew, adding invaluable data to the natural history of the Galapagos Archipelago. The Clinus crinitus is a member of the Clinidae family, which is part of the larger order Actinopterygii, or ray-finned fishes. Its unique features, such as its ability to cling to rocks using its pelvic fins, make it an intriguing addition to any natural history collection. This beautifully preserved specimen is now part of the extensive collections at the Natural History Museum in London, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the wonders of the natural world and the legacy of Charles Darwin's groundbreaking voyage on the HMS Beagle.
