Excerpt from Reports of the Princeton University Expeditions, Vol. 1: To Patagonia, 1896-1899The intelligent collection of fossils involves the determination of strati graphical succession, and Mr. Hatcher was able to accomplish a great deal of most useful work in this connection, making possible, for the first time, a rational account of the geology of large areas in southern Patagonia.He discovered a number of previously unknown geological formations and has made clear the order of succession of the various Tertiary hori zons. As the pursuit of this object led the party into unexplored regions, many geographical discoveries resulted, the importance of which has not been diminished by the subsequent and much more elaborate surveys of the Argentine and Chilian Boundary Commissions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
