Camp 13,15,400 feet (4,720 m.), lies near the crest of the Mari- time Cordillera a little south of Antabamba. Afternoon storms are one of its most significant features. Cotahuasi, 9,100 feet (2,775 m.) is near the head of a west-coast valley. Its low humid- ity is worthy of note. That for Salamanca, 12,700 feet (3,870 m.), is similar but not so marked. Aplao, 3,100 feet (945 m.), and Camana at the seacoast are stations in the west-coast desert. The interior location of the former gives it a greater range of temperature than Camana, yet even here the range is small in comparison with the diurnal ex- tremes of the montafia, and the tempering effect of the sea-breeze is clearly apparent. Camana shows a diurnal temperature range of under 10° F. and also the high relative humidity, over 70 per cent, characteristic of the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bowman, Isaiah, 1878-1950; American Geographical Society of New York.
