other places that should be or are shoT^Ti on the map, and the location of 

 geological data thus becomes very unsatisfactory in many instances. 

 Xotes under most of the states mention the authorities for the map of 

 the state. Boundaries between the states are not yet definitely settled, 

 and no importance can be attached to state boundaries given on the map. 

 Only railways actually constructed are shown on the map. Flamsteed's 

 projection is used as being the one best adapted to an equatorial region. 



WORKS ON TEE PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY 



Below are mentioned the principal works on the physical geography of 

 Brazil : 



Eschwege's sketch of the geology of Brazil, published in the Annales 

 des Mines, volume YIII, 1823, is given in Portuguese at pages 35-39 of 

 the appendices to Boubee"s G-eologia Elementar, Eio de Janeiro, 1846. 



On the physical features of the country there is nothing better than 

 the work of Elysee Eeclus. His volume on Brazil has been translated into 

 Portuguese by Dr. Eamiz Galvao, and many valuable corrections and 

 notes have been added by the translator. 



An older and less comprehensive work is Hartt's book on the Physical 

 Geography and Geology of Brazil. It is primarily devoted to geology, 

 but it brought together most of the data on the physical features of Brazil 

 published up to 1870, when it appeared, and added Hartt's own observa- 

 tions along the coast from Eio de Janeiro to Bahia. 



A much shorter paper by Derby is given in AVappaeus' ^^Geographia 

 physica do Brazil,^-' chapter Y, pages 41-59, with a map. It appeared also 

 in the Portuguese translation of Lapparenfs Geologic, pages 333-343. 

 This is in the Portuguese language. The same article was republished in 

 English in The Eio !N'ews of December 5 and 15, Eio de Janeiro, 1884, 

 and in the Annuaire geologique universel II, 2^ parte, pages 29-35, Paris, 

 1886. The Eevista Italo-Americana, volume I, Eoma, 1902, contains a 

 paper by Yincenzo Grossi entitled "Appunti sulla geografia fisica del 

 Brasile." In The Brazilian Year Book for 1909, published at Eio de 

 Janeiro, Mr. Derby's article on the physical and geological features of 

 Brazil are given at pages 11 to 14. 



A late interesting work that contains much valuable information is 

 that of Dr. C. M. Delgado de Carvalho, entitled ''Geographia do Brasil," 

 8°, 253 pages, Eio de Janeiro, 1913. There is a short but comprehensive 

 article by the same author in the Scottish Geographical Magazine, Feb- 

 ruary, 1918, volume XXXIY, pages 41-55. 



Dr. M. A. E. Lisboa is preparing a comprehensive work on the phvsical
