Ictiólogos de la Argentina: Sarah Exilda Cabrera

This series will include all those people who, by means of their contributions, great and small, played a part in the consolidation of ichthyology in Argentina. The general plan of this work consists of individual factsheets containing a list of works by each author, along with reference bibliography and, whenever possible, personal pictures and additional material. The datasheets will be published primarily in chronological order, although this is subject to change by the availability of materials for successive editions. This work represents another approach for the recovery and revalorization of those who set the foundations of Argentine ichthyology while in diverse historical circumstances. I expect this to be the beginning of a major work that achieves the description of such a significant part of the history of natural sciences in Argentina.

Faune malacologique terrestre des Iles Paracels

The author presents a study on the land shells of the Paracel Islands, group of islands, reefs, banks and other maritime features in the South China Sea. The archipelago includes about 130 small coral islands and reefs, most grouped into the northeast Amphitrite Group or the western Crescent Group. It is approximately equidistant from the coastlines of China and Vietnam.

Propagation des ondes longitudinales dans le noyau terrestre d'après les séismes profonde des Iles Fidji

Observations from three deep focus earthquakes, of focal depth 600 km, originating in the Fiji Islands region, have permitted to trace the travel-time curves for the longitudinal waves travelling through the earth's core. Of principal importance is the travel-time table for the phase PKP1 which has been given upto 158° and for which the data so far were incomplete. Other important phases observed between 103 and 143° have been illustrated and their travel-time curves drawn.

Lamellibranches des Iles Paracels

The author describes the Lamellibranchs species completing the list of molluscs harvested on the Paracel Islands.

Contribution à l'étude des Iles Paracels: les phosphates

Authorized by the Government General of Indochina to attend a two weeks cruise on “De Lanessan” towards the Paracel Islands in 1931, the author focused on determining the wealth of phosphatic grounds and collect all relevant documentation regarding a possible exploitation.

Oiseaux des Iles Paracels

A survey on birds living on the Paracels Islands has been carried out by the two authors in 1926. During a research cruise, they visited some of the 36 islands composing the Paracels archipelago and list three bird families (Laridés, Stéganopodés, Zostéropidés) and their sub-families.
