ilATTO GROSSO 



Previous investigations. — The base map of ^latto Grosso is made up 

 chiefly from the following data : 



1. Locations along Eios Guapore and Madeira by E. H. Schmidt, of 

 the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism. Carnegie Institution. 



2. Eios Gy-Parana, Theodoro. and the Tapajos are copied from the 

 map given in the lectures of Colonel Candido Mariano da Silva Eondon, 

 published at Eio de Janeiro in 1916. 



3. Eio Xingii is from the maps of Karl Ton den Steinen's Erforschung 

 des Xingu. 



4. The southern part of the State is from Schnoor's map. given in Dr. 

 M. A. E. Lisboa's paper in "Oeste de Sao Paulo, Sul de Matto Grosso. 

 Geologia,^* etcetera. Eio de Janeiro, 1909. 



Castelnau gives the geolog}' along the routes followed by his expedi- 

 tions from Goyaz to Cuyaba and thence to Yilla Bella. Evans' paper on 

 the region northwest of Cuyaba is valuable: the geologic notes on the 

 Xingu by Dr. Yogel and by Clauss and the occasional notes given by 

 J. S. da Fonseca are helpful. 



The notes of Euzebio Paulo de Oliveira on the "Expedicao Eoosevelt- 

 Eondon"' and those of Alberto B. Paes Leme after the notes of Cicero de 

 Campos are most welcome additions. The most valuable late contribu- 

 tion to the general geology of Matto Grosso is by Dr. ^I. Arrojado E. 

 Lisboa, who crossed the southern end of the state from Sao Paulo to Cu- 

 rumba. along the line of the new railway route. 



The best general description of the state is that by Herbert H. Smith. 



On the paleontology Clarke. Unod. and Yon Amnion are most impor- 

 tant. 



General geology. — Geologically Matto Grosso is the most interesting 

 and the least known of the Brazilian states. The available note? and
