Entre Rios

Entre Rios (between rivers) is a province of the Argentine republic between the Uruguay in the E. and the Parana in the W. and S., and having the province of Corrientes to the N. It contains about 45,000 square miles, and consists in the southern part of a low-lying, alluvial plain, subject to inundation, and in the northern of undulating land with large swamps covered with small timber, but containing fine grass and pasture lands, and occupied by estancias (farms), which rear about four million horned cattle. The climate is good, but there is little cultivation. There are many tributaries of the two rivers mentioned above. The chief productions are hides, horn, tallow, and charqui (jerked or dried beef). Concepcion is the capital.
