FALKNER, in his
book, speaks of the Rio Negro
az the LARGEST river OF Pata.

THOMAs FALKNER, in his
book, speaks of the Rio Negro
as the largest river OF Pata-
l. gonia. 1t is not only the larg-
est river of Patagonia but, next to the
La Plata and it's two large tributaries,
which do not, however, belong to Ar
gentina alone, the largest Of the Ar
gentine Republic. Roughly speaking,
it drains a large triangular piece of
territory lying between sc and AZ de-
grees of latitude south, with the base
following the line Of the watershed be-
tween Chile and Argentina and the
npex resting at the mouth of the river
on the Atlantic coast just south of
the fortieth parallel of latitude. F'alk-
per gives quite list of names for this
stream, of which the Indian name of
Curu Leuvu has been retained to this
day in the Spanish translation of Rio
Negro.
It is not to be wondered at that the
Spaniards neglected the inhospitable
coast of southern Argentina in those
,ea:ly days of conquest and settlement.
No one could be expected to settle
down in an unattractive and desert
country while there was an unlimited
supply of more desirable lands closer
at hand and to be had only for the
asking or taking. 1t is only when the
good land has become exhausted and
when railroads and science make tho
