The Argentine Republic: Its Development and Progress

There is a very complete bibliography of works on the botany
and geographical botany of Argentina in F. Kurtz, "Essai d'une
bibliographie botanique de l'Argentine" (2nd edition, _Bol. Acad. Nac.
Ciencias Cordoba_, xx, 1915, pp. 369-467).
There is a convenient summary of our knowledge of the primitive
population in Felix F. Outes and Carlos Bruch, _Los aborigenes de la
Rep. argentina_ (Buenos Aires, 1910).
5. NORTH-WEST ARGENTINA.
The most complete general work on irrigation is that of E. A. Soldano,
_La irrigacion en la argentina_ (Buenos Aires, 1910, octavo). See also
C. Wouters, "La irrigacion en el valle de Lerma" (_An. Soc. Cient.
Argentina_, lxvi, 1908, pp. 117-145).
The best description of the Puna de Atacama and the country of the
Valles is in Eric Boman, "Antiquites de la region andine de la
Republique Argentine et du desert d'Atacama" (_Mission scientifique
G. de Crequi, Montfort, et E. Senechal de la Grange_, Paris, 1908, 2
vols.).
L. Brackebusch, "Ueber die Bodensverhaeltnisse des nordwestlichen
Teiles der Argentinischen Republik mit Bezugnahme auf die Vegetation"
(_Petermann's Mitteilungen_, 1893, p. 153) is a general description of
the whole of north-western Argentina; but Brackebusch's description
of his journey, "Viaje a la provincia de Jujuy" (_Bol. Inst. Geog.
Argent._, iv, 1883, pp. 9-17, 204-211, and 217-226) is fresher and more
useful.
I have mentioned in the note to p. 40 Bodenbender's work on the
province of La Rioja.
Of the various articles, from all quarters, on North-Western Argentina
the following may be noticed:--
J. B. Ambrosetti, "Viaje a la Puna de Atacama de Salta a Caurchari"
(_Bol. Inst. Geog. Argent._, xxi, 1900, pp. 87-116).
F. Kuehn, "Descripcion del camino desde Rosario de Lerma hasta Cachi"
(_Bol. Inst. Geog. Argent._, xxiv, 1910, pp. 42-50).
H. Seckt, "Contribucion al conocimiento de la vegetacion del Nordeste
de la Rep. Arg.--Valles de Calchaqui y Puna de Atacama" (_An. Soc.
Cient. Arg._, lxxiv, 1912, pp. 185-225).
Juan F. Barnabe, "Informe sobre el distrito minero de Tinogasta" (_An.
Min. Agric., Seccion Geol. Mineralogia y Mineria_, x, No. 4, Buenos
Aires, 1915).
On the Puna de Atacama:
L. Caplain, "Informe sobre el estado de la mineria en el Territorio de
los Andes" (_An. Min. Agric., Seccion Geol. Mineralogia y Mineria_,
vii, No. 1, Buenos Aires, 1912).
On the sub-Andean chains:--
Guido Bonarelli, "Las Sierras subandinas del Alto y Aguarague y los
yacimientos petroliferos del distrito minero de Tartagal" (_ibid._,

Geol., e Hidrol, _Boletin_, series B, No. 9 (Buenos Aires, 1914).

scrub:--
