Abstract
By southern Chile I mean a strip of land more than 2000 kilometres long, beginning at its northern end with the Valdivian forest at the 36th parallel and ending at Cape Horn at the 56th parallel. Because of the zone’s extreme dissection and the very low density of population this is a very difficult area in which to travel and it is the least well explored part of Chile. Certain important and extensive areas have faunas which are virtually unknown; we may instance those between Puerto Montt and Aisen and also the whole of the coastal strip of Aisen as well as the islands between Chiloe and the Gulf of Penas. Owing to the fact that something is known of both ends of the zone it is possible to form a general idea of the characteristics and composition of the included fauna.
