Nerdrickson 1950 Journal 82 Nov. 28 El Meico, 4 kms S 72 km W San Martin; 1600 ft; Meta, Colombia, S.A. Dry season. Nov. 29 Rained most of the day and all the night. Stayed around the ranch all day. Talked at some length with Teodoro Cabrera (technical helper of Dr. Madom), Benjamin Cifuentes M. (in charge of the ranch proper), and Carlos Balcazar M. (foreman of the crew of men working on trails in the Macarena, and generally in charge of the employees of the government). From them I extracted the following crude analysis of the usual yearly weather cycle here (at El Meico). In the "mesetas" (plateaus at N end of the Macarena), there is much more rain than here on the edge of the llanos. Also in the "mesas" (plateau at S end of the Macarena) and in the Macarena proper, this is true to some extent at least. The weather in all these higher parts does not necessarily follow closely the cycle & here. By and large, it is unknown because few people have been in the Macarena and large areas exist which have never been penetrated.
