"INTRODUCTION: 'SOUTHERN CHILE ', because of the extraordinary length of the republic, has a variety of meanings in geographical literature, and more often than not is a term used to designate all the area south of that experiencing the Mediterranean climate so typical a feature of the country's central nucleus. A much more accurate and interpretative sub-division of this 'bell-rope' nation is that devised by the doyen of geographers of Latin America, Preston James, whose four-fold framework of North, North Middle, South Middle and South, fits the geographical and historic pattern displayed by the regions of Chile.It is with the South as there delimited, south of 44° S., that this study deals.
