ARGENTINA 539 ARGENTINA Migration statistics were compiled until May 30, 1872, by the Port Prefect of Buenos Aires, after that date by the Immigration Commis- sariat.The movement of alien passengers who arrived in or left the country directly by sea has been recorded since 1857.As a result, in certain tables first class passenger could be separated from the commence- ment,and thispermitted second and thirdclasspassengersto be distinguished as "immigrants."In the reports which relate to those immigrants who did not arrive at Buenos Aires by a direct route, but reached Argentina by river navigation (via Montevideo), the passenger classes began to be recorded April 15, 1880.Hence for the period prior to that date it has been impossible to indicate separately second and third class river passengers ("immigrants").Tourists and passengers travelling from one river station to another were also included in the statistics.As a result, the figures in table VI have only a slight relation to overseas immigrants.The latter were not separately recorded until after July 1, 1923 (12,044 for1923, and 15,027 for 1924).(Information supplied on May 13, 1926, by Mr. J. Ramos, formerly Commissioner- General forImmigration.)Indeterminingthe aggregateoverseas migration before 1924, it is advisable, therefore, to exclude those arriving and departing by the river route.
