Mason, Otis T., Migration and the food-quest; a study of the peopling of America. American Anthropologist, Washington, 1894, Vol. VIII, pp.275-292. This paper, dismissing all imaginary and accidental occurrences examines the great circle of the earth passing from the strait of Malacca to the Columbia River and thence through Mexico and Peru. It is shown that it is a route to America perfectly feasible to savages, abounding in food, through land-locked areas, in line with aerial and oceanic currents and in historic times occupied by peoples in unbroken chain of connection.

Mason, Otis T., Technogeography, or the relation of the Earth to the industries of Mankind. American Anthropologist, Washington, 1894, Vol. VII, pp. 137-161. The object of this paper is to show that the earth is an organized structure with relation to human history and that the motive and genius of human activities spring from earthly materials, powers and forces.
