Darwin did not say this. Darwin collected finches from the Galapagos Islands, believing them to be other words. It was the famous ornithologist, John Gould, who confirmed that 12 samples were all finches, but with enough minor differences for them to be considered new species.
While it was Gould who called them new species, it confirmed to Darwin some of the ideas he'd had about the stability of species, how one colony of organisms can split up and adapt to a new environment.
