The place names on the lower part this page are taken, in chronological order, from William's Diary. No doubt, in most cases, William wrote down place names as he heard them, and as a consequence what he wrote is not helpful when one looks at a modern map of Argentina, however, Norberto Perez of Argentina has kindly sent me information about these places.

Soon, I will integrate Norberto's notes into my original list below, and into the main body of William's text, but for now I will simply add them to this page. Norberto wrote:

In chronological order :

Monte Video: " Montevideo" , ( Capital city of the actual Republic of Uruguay)

Buenos Ayres: " Buenos Aires" .

Reduction - village of : "Villa de la Reducción". Was the first town in the south of Buenos Aires, from The Riachuelo.
