Wallace's collection from South America, which included a wealth of specimens and observations, was initially sent to the British Museum. However, much of it was lost due to a shipwreck in 1852 while en route back to England. Despite this setback, Wallace's scientific contributions and insights from his time in South America significantly influenced the field of biogeography and evolutionary theory. His experiences and findings eventually helped shape his later work on natural selection.
