and Salta. Corrientes has also sent 5,000 emigrants 

 to Misiones. 



In the Pampean region the population of Buenos 

 Aires in 1895 included very few who came from other 

 provinces. The population of Santa Fe was more 

 mixed. The attraction of the agricultural colonies 

 had brought 65,000 Argentine immigrants. They came 

 mainly from the left bank of the Parana and Cordoba. 

 The immigrants from Cordoba are localized along the 

 railway from Rosario to Cordoba, in the Belgrano 

 and Iriondo departments and the town of Rosario. 

 The migration of the Santa Fe colonists to the new 

 lands in the west had scarcely begun at that time. 

 They were still only 3,000 in the Buenos Aires pro- 

 vince, and 5,000 at Cordoba ; most of them were in 

 departments adjacent to the old colony area. The 

 colonization of Cordoba began simultaneously in the 

 east, toward Santa Fe, and in the south-west, in the 

 Rio Cuarto department, to which the breeders from 

 San Luis went. Similarly, the Argentine population 

 of the Central Pampa includes elements from the 

 east as well as European colonists and elements from 

 the north-west (10,000 immigrants from the Buenos 

 Aires province, 3,000 from San Luis). 



The 1914 Census has less complete details in regard 

 to interior immigration than its predecessor. The 

 migrations had not ceased. The attraction of Tucu- 

 man and Mendoza had, in fact, decreased. The 

 province of Tucuman had 55,000 Argentine immi- 

 grants, the province of Jujuy 15,000, the province of 

 Mendoza 34,000. The provinces of Mendoza and Cor- 

 rientes remained nuclei of considerable immigration 

 (38,000 and 63,000 immigrants). At Santa Fe the 

 number of emigrants who left the province to 

 settle at Cordoba and in the remainder of the Pampean 

 region rose from 14,000 to 87,000. The Patagonian 

 territory also had a large excess of immigrants from 

 other provinces.
