 which there is a stone bridge, at its confluence with the Ammer,

 which, on the right bank of the Neckar, contains the handsomest 

 houses. The inhabitants, in number about 9000, are partly employed 

 in the manufacture of woollen cloths; but Tubingen is chiefly interest- 

 ing on account of its university, which was founded in 1477 : Keuchliu 

 and Melancthon were among its professors. After the Reformation 

 it remained entirely Protestant till 1803, when Roman Catholic 

 students were admitted at Tubingen. The university has faculties of

TUCHAN. [AuDE.] 



TUCUMAN, one of the provinces of the Argentine Confederation, 

 South America, lies between 25 30' and 27 30' S. lat, 62 and 66 30' 

 W. long. It is bounded S. by the province of Santiago del Estero ; 

 E. by the desert Indian country called El Gran Chaco ; N. by the 

 province of Salta ; and W. by that of Catamarca. The area is about 

 42,500 square miles ; the population is about 45,000. 



The province of Tucuman comprehends the greater part of the 

 slightly-inclined plain which extends from the base of the Sierra de 

 Aconquija towards the Rio Salado, but does not reach its banks, being 

 separated from them by a broad tract of waste land. The surface, 

 &c., of the country is described under ARGENTINE CONFEDERATION. 

 The Rio Salado divides the province from the nomadic tribes of the 

 Gran Chaco, the Rio Tala from the province of Salta, and the Sierra 

 de Aconquija from that of Catamarca. It unites great fertility of soil 

 with abundance of water, and is not only the moat fertile but also the 

 best cultivated state in the Argentine republic; well deserving its 

 appellation of the ' Garden of the United Provinces.' The climate 

 though hot is dry and salubrious. Rice, wheat, maize, and tobacco 

 are raised and exported. The sugar-cane grows naturally in the low 

 lands, but it is not cultivated. There are extensive groves of aroma- 

 and orange-trees. The declivities of the mountains contain noble 

 timber-trees, and afford excellent pasturage. The cattle ore larger and 

 the horses finer than in any other province. In the mountains gold, 

 silver, copper, and lead are said to exist, but no mines are worked at 

 present The people are a hardy and warlike race, proud of their 

 country, and always ready to take up arms in its defence. The men 

 generally prefer greatly those pursuits which allow them to be much 

 on horseback. There are in the province a great many Indians, who 

 speak the Quichua language. Like the other provinces Tucuman is a
