Travellers have made shooting of the river up to mouth Rio-Negro, and Smajt considered, ' that its definitions were exact enough '.
In the meantime other English expedition conducted rather valuable work in the south. Between 1826 and 1830 King and Fiproi have made shooting of coast from La Plata to Chiloe. In 1831 Fitzroy has returned to the South America by the ship ' Bigl '. Charles Darvin which research work in the south can be equal to Humboldt's work in the north was its companion. Shooting has been finished to Gvajakilja at the western coast, but also expedition has visited a part of unknown Patagonia. Travellers pursued approximately th 400 km on the river Santa Cruz, yet have not seen the Andes, but the foodstuffs lack has forced them to turn back. The extensive research work made by Darwin during its long stay in the South America and displayed by it in it ' Geological supervision in the South America ' and ' the Diary of supervision on natural history and geology of the countries, visited during ship global cruise ' Bigl ' was useful to it subsequently for its later glorified work ' the Origin of species '.
Last travel of this period is the French expedition made in 1843-1847 of Francois de-Kastelno. He has spent some time in an internal part of Brazil, has studied area which to it has visited Natterer, has gone down on the river Araguajja and has risen across Tocantins. Further it has proceeded in depth of continent to Kujaby, has defined sources of the river Paraguay and has moved far forward studying of pool of this river. After that he has visited Gran Chaco, has passed to Bolivia and has subjected to research area between Potosi and Lima, then has returned to Cuzco, whence in 1846 again has gone on the east. Following.po to the rivers Urubambe, Ucayali and Amazon, it has reached Steam cities. This expedition has captured extensive territories and has given to geography very many though all its astronomical and meteorological diaries are lost (after murder of the viscount storing them d! Ozeri).
