ARIAS, Francisco Gabino, Argentine traveler, born in Salto, Buenos Ayres ; died about 1808. In 1774, when a colonel in the army, he explored the desert known as " Gran Chaco." On 2 June 1780, he undertook an expedition having for its object the pacification of the Indians, which lasted until 31 January 1781, and in 1782 he explored the River Bermejo, and proved that it flowed into the Paraguay and not into the Parana, as had formerly been supposed. He also gave valuable information about the navigability of the River and the character of the tribes living near it. His narrative of this expedition was published by his son, Dr. Jose Antonio Arias, by order of the government.
