Abancay, 8,000 feet (2,440 m.), in one of the inter-Andeanbasins, is situated in the zone of marked seasonal Noon 6 Midt, Fig. 119. 6 6 Noon 6 Midt. 6 120.

The single days record shows the characteristic effect of cloudreducing the maximum temperature of the day and maintainingthe relative humidity. Camp 13,15,400 feet (4,720 m.), lies near the crest of the Mari-time Cordillera a little south of Antabamba. Afternoon stormsare 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 arestations in the west-coast desert. The interior location of theformer gives it a greater range of temperature than Camana, yeteven here the range is small in compari
