Willis article as the following bulletin:

The sediment is very fine, and mingled with it is large proportion of fine volcanic dust blown from the volcanoes of the Andes. Like the re- nowned loess soils af China, it Is ex- ceedingly fertile and, being very po- rous, absorhs the rain waters, which rise again by evaporation and supply
