The Argentine Republic: Its Development and Progress
Denis, Pierre
Agriculture -- Argentina; Argentina -- Description and travel; Argentina -- Economic conditions -- 1918-
The chief source is the memoir of Repossini, "Memoria sobre el rio
Parana" (_Bol. Obras Publicas_, vol. vi, 1912, pp. 141-168 and 254-264,
vol. vii, 1912, pp. 31-48 and 163-186, and vol. viii, 1913, pp. 33-99).
It contains on a reduced scale the map issued by the Ministry of Public
Works, which is not available in France. The defect is supplied by the
English Admiralty Charts, "Rio de la Plata," 1869 (No. 2544 in the
Catalogue of Admiralty Charts), and "River Parana," parts i, ii, iii,
iv, v, and vi of 1905 (Nos. 1982/A and 1982/B).
There is an interesting economic summary in W. S. Barclay, "The River
Parana, an economic survey" (_Geogr. Journal_, xxxiii, 1909, pp. 1-10).
On the estuary:--
Alej. Foster, "Regimen del Rio de la Plata y su correccion" (_An. Soc.
Cient. Argent._, lii, 1901, pp. 209-234).
G. Rovereto, "Studi di geomorfologia argentina," ii, "Il rio della
Plata" (_Bol. Soc. Geol. Ital._, xxx, 1911).
12. POPULATION.
Besides municipal and provincial censuses, there have been three
general censuses:
First census made in 1869, one folio volume published in 1872. I have
only been able to consult _Oficina del Censo_. _Informe sobre la
operacion y resultado del Primer censo argentino_ (Buenos Aires, 1870,
octavo).
Second census of the Argentine Republic, May 10, 1895 (2 vols, quarto,
Buenos Aires, 1898).
_Tercer Censo Nacional levantado el 1º de junio de 1914_ (10
vols, quarto, Buenos Aires, 1916-1917). Only the fifth volume, on
agriculture, is not yet to hand.
A geographical interpretation of the distribution of the population
was attempted by E. A. S. Delachaux, "La poblacion de la Rep. Argent."
(_Rev. Univ. Buenos Aires_, iii, 1905).
