Thus each separate island of the Galapagos Archipelago is tenanted, and the fact is a marvellous one, by many distinct species; but these species are related to each other in a very much closer manner than to the inhabitants of the American continent, or of any other quarter of the world.
Horrela, Galapagoak artxipelagoko irletariko bakoitzean espezie ezberdin asko bizi dira, gauza harrigarria berau; baina espezie ezberdinok askoz ere lotuago daude elkarrekin amerikar kontinenteko edo munduko beste edozein eskualdetakoekin baino.
