At the right, east of the southward flowing Rio de Az6gucs, beds of Rio de Azogues sandstone and ash dipping steeply eastward. Cuenca shales form the hill in the extreme right foreground (lower right corner). The surface of the entire center t the photograph as far north as Cerro Cojitambo is composed of highly colored days weathered directly from vari-colorcd andesite which can be traced continuously in the lower course of Rio Huna
. Bulletins of American paleontology. Bull. Amer. Fig. 1.—Composite photograph of Cucnca Basin looking nortli toward Cerro Cojitambo : center background. At the right, east of the southward flowing Rio de Az6gucs, beds of Rio de Azogues sandstone and ash dipping steeply eastward. Cuenca shales form the hill in the extreme right foreground (lower right corner). The surface of the entire center t the photograph as far north as Cerro Cojitambo is composed of highly colored days weathered directly from vari-colorcd andesite which can be traced continuously in the lower course of Rio Hunaneay as it flows from west to east across the middle of the area photographed and empties into Rio de Azogues. The Rio de Azogues sandstone and ash dipping steeply west- ward form the high ridge that lies just west of the upper course (south flowing in this local- ity) of Rio Hunaneay. Tins ridge forms the skyline near the west background of the photo- graph, beyond which the dim outline of the rugged Cordillera Occidental can be seen on the far western horizon. The central part nf tlie kisin, averaging 9,000 feet above sea, is vovy fertile and intensely cultivated. In the left foreground are agave plants; in the center and right foregrounds yeDow flowering 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 Paleontological Research Institution (Ithaca, N.
