Revista del Museo de la Plata. From 1890-1891, 17 vols. 

 to 1910-1911. 



All these reviews contain especially articles on the parts 

 of the country which were last explored Patagonia, Chaco, 

 Misiones. They contain little about the parts that were 

 early colonized, though these are not always the best known. 



2. MAPS. 



The maps published in the eighteenth century (D'Anville's 

 map, 1733, in the Lettres edifiantes, igth collection, Paris, 

 1734 : Bellin's map in vol. ii of the Histoire du Paraguay 

 of the R.P.P.F.X. de Charlevoix, Paris, 1756, 3 vols., 

 etc.) are based upon information collected by the Jesuit 

 missionaries. 



D'Azara's map (1809) shows a remarkable advance. 



Important corrections of D'Azara's map are found in 

 Woodbine Parish's map (1838). 



Brackebusch's two maps are essential documents : Mapa 

 del interior de la Republica Argentina, por el Dr. L. Bracke- 

 busch, i : 1,000,000 (Gotha, 1835) and Mapa geologico del 

 interior de la Republica Argentina, i : 1,000,000 (Gotha, 1890). 



The results of earlier work have been used in the Atlas 

 de la Republica Argentina construido y publicado por el 

 Instituto Geografico Argentina (Buenos Aires, 1894), which 

 includes a list of its sources. 



Since that date many maps have been published : maps 

 of the various provinces and surveys drawn up by the railway 

 companies, the Chile Frontier Commission (see Patagonia), 

 the Mines Division (see Natural Regions), and the Ministerio 

 de Obras Publicas (see River Routes). A brief account of 

 the history of Argentine cartography and a list of maps of 

 provinces will be found in Colonel B. Garcia Aparicio, La 

 carta de la Republica (Anuario del Instituto Geografico Militar, 

 i, 1912, Buenos Aires, pp. 1-27). 



The Military Geographical Institute has itself published 

 a large number of maps, either on the basis of fresh surveys 

 or by compiling earlier work, chiefly : 



About thirty sheets on the scale 1 : 25,000 (Pampean 

 region) since 1904, interesting for studying the relief of the 

 plain.
