Mactra Araucana, d'Orbigny, "Voyage, Part Pal." 12. Arca Araucana, d'Orbigny, "Voyage, Part Pal." 13. Nucula Largillierti, d'Orbigny, "Voyage, Part Pal." 14. Trigonia Hanetiana, d'Orbigny, "Voyage, Part Pal." During a second visit of the "Beagle" to Concepcion, Mr.
Kent collected for me some silicified wood and shells out of the concretions in the sandstone from Tome, situated a short distance north of Lirguen. They consist of: Natica australis, d'Orbigny, "Voyage, Part Pal." 2. Mactra Araucana, d'Orbigny, "Voyage, Part Pal." 3. Trigonia Hanetiana, d'Orbigny, "Voyage, Part Pal." 4.
A collection of shells, from the island of Quiriquina, has been described by M. d'Orbigny: they are all extinct, and from their generic character, M. d'Orbigny inferred that they were of tertiary origin: they consist of: Scalaria Chilensis, d'Orbigny, "Voyage, Part Pal." 2. Natica Araucana, d'Orbigny, "Voyage, Part Pal." 3. Natica australis, d'Orbigny, "Voyage, Part Pal." 4.
He puts his action far enough from home: the Spaniards are conquering Chili. But the world has grown smaller and more familiar in the interval: the astonishing things that could easily happen in the seas of Madagascar cannot now conveniently happen in Chili. The Araucana is versified history, not epic.
Did not Cervantes finish his work a maimed soldier, and in prison? Nay, was not the "Araucana," which Spain acknowledges as its epic, written without even the aid of paper; on scraps of leather, as the stout fighter and voyager snatched any moment from that wild warfare? And what then had these men which Burns wanted?

"Very good," said the barber; "and here come three together, the 'Araucana' of Don Alonso de Ercilla, the 'Austriada' of Juan Rufo, Justice of Cordova, and the 'Montserrate' of Christobal de Virues, the Valencian poet."

There is but one long poem of this class which obtained much regard when it appeared, and which has been remembered ever since, the "Araucana." News having arrived that the Araucans, a tribe of Indians in Chili, had revolted against the Spanish authority, Ercilla joined the adventurous expedition that was sent out to subdue them.
Some notion of the tremendous vigour with which these wars of the south were waged may be gathered from "La Araucana," the magnificent epic written by Ercilla, the Spanish poet, who composed his verses hot from the fight, his arms still weary from wielding the sword. One of the first of the notable Spanish victims in the course of these wars was Valdivia himself.
