More recent summaries of rainfall measurements were published by West (1957) and Trewartha (1962). The great detail shown on the rainfall map by Trojer (1958) is based on relief interpretation, but is not backed by corresponding field data. The high rainfall area near Villa Arteaga southeast of the Gulf of Uraba (Fig. 5 & 6) probably is connected with the very humid region along the western base of the Western Andes to the south rather than representing a small humid „island" as mapped by Trojer (1958) who located Villa Arteaga too far north on his map. The forest and climate grow increasingly more humid as one goes south from this village along the western slope of the mountains. The Atlas de Colombia (1969: 67—71) gives a useful summary of climatic information on the country as a Fig. 5: Annual rainfall (mm) in northwestern Colombia. Modified from Schmidt (1952) and West (1957). Explanation: Black dots — weather stations listed by Schmidt (1952), as follow: 1 Turbo; 2 Chigorodö; 3 Villa Arteaga; 4 Quibdö; 5 Bahia Solano; 6 Juradö; 7 Acandi. Rainfall is not mapped in the dry inter-Andean calleys. See also legend of Fig. 6.
