The Wilds of Patagonia: A Narrative of the Swedish Expedition to Patagonia, Tierra Del Fuego and the Falkland Islands in 1907-1909
Excerpt from The Wilds of Patagonia
I devoted myself to botanical work, but also made most of the insignificant zoological collections. The speciality of Mr. Halle was the survey of fossiliferous deposits, and as a clever bryologist, he assisted me in gathering mosses and other cryptogams. Mr. Quensel was mainly occupied with studies of the eruptive rocks, the origin of the Andes and the phenomena of glaciation. On many occasions the two geologists collaborated.
