The Voyage dans I'Amerique meridionale of Alcide d'Orbigny 

 contains his observations on the Parana, the province of 

 Corrientes, the Pampa (Parchappe's voyages), and Pata- 

 gonia (1828). (Historical section, vol. i, Paris, 1835 ; vol. ii, 

 Paris, 1839-43 ; vol. iii, third part, geology, Paris, 1842). 



Darwin also visited the coast of Patagonia and crossed 

 the Pampa (1833) : Narrative of the Surveying Voyage of 

 H.M.S. " Adventure " and " Beagle "... vol. iii, as Journal 

 and Researches (London, 1839). 



Sir Woodbine Parish's work, Buenos Aires and the Provinces 

 of the Rio de la Plata (London, 1838), is remarkably well- 

 informed, and is based upon a thorough study of previous 

 publications and archives. 



W. Mac Kami's Ten Thousand Miles' Ride through the 

 Argentine Republic (London, 1855, 2 vols.) is interesting, 

 and the work of a close observer. 



Martin de Moussy, Description geographique et statistique 

 de la Confederation argentine (Paris, 1858, 3 vols. octavo 

 and atlas), is unequal, but full of information. 



The work of H. Burmeister, Description physique de la 

 Republique argentine (Paris, 2 vols., 1876), is of little value, 

 and has been overrated. 



Richard Napp, Die Argentinische Republik (Buenos Aires, 

 1876, i vol. octavo), includes a valuable chapter by P. G. 

 Lorentz on the flora (" Vegetationsverhaeltnisse Argentiniens," 

 pp. 87-149). 



Anales de la Biblioteca National, Buenos Aires, Publication de 

 documentos relatives al Rio de la Plata (from 1900). 



Publications of the Junta de Historia y Numismatica Americana 

 (Buenos Aires, 7 vols., octavo, from 1905 to 1915). 



Valuable notes on some of the most important historical documents 

 will be found in E. Boman, Antiquites de la region andine (see North- 

 West Argentina). 



The most curious collection of all for the geographer is : Pedro 

 de Angelis, Coleccion de obras y documentos relatives a la historia antigua 

 y moderna de las provincias del Rio de la Plata (Buenos Aires, 1837, 

 6 vols. octavo, containing many itineraries, journals of expeditions, 

 etc., together with notes by D' Azara).
