It was apparently some conversation with Senor Bravo, the Director of the Cuerpo de Ingenieros de Minas regarding the Paracas continental Carboniferous that was the basis for the beautiful diagrams Of the relations of land and sea during Carboniferous time published by Bowman,6 which he unfortunately located at Pacasmayo which is 805 km. North of Paracas in a region of crystalline rocks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
