Transcription Notes:
Terra del Fuego, Bay Northcap? An interesting aside, I think this specimen was collected by Charles Darwin and given to Robert Brown. Darwin rowed up the northern side of the Beagle Channel as far as Stewart Island. See https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/d/darwin/charles/beagle/chapter10.html I think this is what Bay Northcap is referring to. I strongly believe the locality is "Bay of Good Success" - a bay on the eastern tip of Tierra del Fuego where the Beagle stopped for several days starting on December 17, 1832 (see: http://www.athenapub.com/darwin1.htm). -@mnathan
