OCHOTERENA F., H.. Miguel del Barco naturista y precursor de la geografía moderna. Invest. Geog [online]. 1981, n.11, pp.277-283. ISSN 2448-7279.

The scientific panorama of New Spain in the eighteenth century is concisely revised in order to situate the work of Miguel del Barco as a naturalist. The fossiliferous localities mentioned by this author and the reflections which led him to deduce the emersion of the Californian peninsula are treated with detail. Because of his work, analyzed from a geografical point of view, he can be considered as a precursor of this science.
