"The results of the Amherst Patagonian expedition were divided into two parts, the general features, together with the narrative, were reported in a separate volume entitled, 'Hunting extinct animals in the Patagonian pampas,' published in 1913. For this volume has been reserved the description of the material found and such conclusions as are directly derived from that material."--Preface.

"The Deseado Formation of Patagonia" by Frederic Brewster Loomis is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the results of the Amherst Expedition to Patagonia, which took place in 1911, and is primarily concerned with the paleontological findings related to the Deseado Formation, featuring a comprehensive study of Tertiary vertebrate fauna. Loomis's analysis extends the existing knowledge of prehistoric animal life in Patagonia through extensive fossil collection and interpretation. The opening of the book introduces the Amherst Expedition, detailing its organization, participants, and objectives. Loomis illustrates the significance of the fossils collected from the Deseado Formation, emphasizing their importance in understanding the vertebrate animals of the Tertiary period. He references pioneering work done by previous researchers, particularly Carlos and Florentino Ameghino, and outlines the expedition's aim to create a detailed monograph on their findings. Initial chapters discuss the geological context, the descriptions of the material found, and comparisons with other paleontological collections, setting the groundwork for the comprehensive analysis of ancient fauna that Loomis presents throughout the volume.
