9. THE PAMPEAN REGION.
The occupation of the western part of the Pampa between 1875 and 1880
led to a fairly large amount of research. The most important work is
the _Informe oficial de la Comision cientifica agregada al Estado Mayor
General de la Expedicion al Rio Negro_, vol. iii, _Geologia_, by Dr.
Ad. Doering (Buenos Aires, 1882). We must also notice G. Ave-Lallemant,
"Excursion al Territorio indio del Sud" (_Bol. Inst. Geogr. Argent._,
ii, 1881, pp. 41-49); D. Dupont, "Notas geograficas sobre el pais de
los Ranqueles" (_Bol. Inst. Geog. Argent._, 1790, pp. 47-56); and Est.
Zeballos, _Descripcion amena de la Republica Argentina_, vol. i, _Viaje
al pais de las Araucanos_ (Buenos Aires, 1881).
Of general works on the Pampa and the Pampean deposits:
Fl. Ameghino, _La formacion Pampeana_ (Paris and Buenos Aires, 1881),
and "Las formaciones sedimentarias de la region litoral de Mar del
Plata y Chapalmalan" (_An. Mus. Nac. Buenos Aires_, series ii, vol. x,
1908, pp. 348-428).

Descripcion geologica del valle del rio Primero desde la Sierra de
Cordoba hasta la Mar Chiquita" (_Bol. Acad. Nac. Ciencias Cordoba_,
xii, 1890, pp. 1-54); and "Die Pampa Ebene in Osten der Sierra von
Cordoba in Argentinien" (_Petermann's Mitteilungen_, 1893, pp. 201-237
and 258-264).
Santiago Roth, "Beobachtungen ueber Entstehung und Alter der
Pampasformationen in Argentinien" (_Zeitschrift der Deutschen
Geol. Ges._, xi, 1888, pp. 375-464); "Beitrag zur Gliederung der
Sedimentablagerungen in Patagonien und der Pampas Region" (_Neues
Jahrbuch fuer Min., Geol., und Palaeont._, Beilage, Band xxvi, Stuttgart,
1908, pp. 92-150); and "La construccion de un Canal de Bahia Blanca a
las provincias andinas bajo el punto de vista hidrogeologico" (_Rev.
Museo de la Plata_, xvi, 1909).
_Nouvelles recherches sur la formation pampeenne et l'homme fossile de
la Republique argentine._ A collection of scientific articles published
by R. Lehmann-Nitsche (_Rev. Mus. Plata_, xiv, 1907, pp. 143-488),
which contains, especially, one by C. Burckhardt, "La formation
pampeenne de Buenos Aires et Santa Fe," and one by Ad. Doering, "La
formation pampeenne de Cordoba."
Ales Hrdlicka, _Early Man in South America_ (Smithsonian Institution,
Bull. 52, Washington, 1912--geological part by Bailey Willis).
On the district of the Central Pampa, R. Stappenbeck, "Investigaciones
hidrogeologicas de los valles de Chapalco y Quehue y sus alrededores"
(Min. Agric., Dir. Gen. Minas, Geol., e Hidrol., Bol. No. 4, Buenos
Aires, 1913).
