62 BERRY: FOSSIL FRUITS FROM THE ANDES OF COLOMBIA 
Fortunata and the Paramo of Pasquilla, the one slightly under 
and the other slightly over 10,000 feet. The true Paramo in 
the Eastern Andes near Bogota lies, according to Chapman, 
above 12,000 feet. At any rate Guasca appears to be in the 
temperate altitudinal zone (9500-12,000 feet) and therefore 
unsuited at its present elevation for Simaruba and Cordia.

These species therefore indicate a certain undeterminable 
amount of uplift since they were living in the region. The 
question of actual amount is so complicated by direction of winds, 
consequent humidity, and position of exposure, that much more 
knowledge will have to accumulate before precise data are avail- 
able, but it is not without either interest or significance that all 
of the evidence of this sort from the Andes in Bolivia, Peru, and 
Colombia, meager as it is, all points in the same direction, and
