Study is based on measurements of 

 incident and subsurface light in each of 

 the Great Lakes and in one small inland 

 lake; at least one study was nnade of 

 spectral distribution in each water. 

 Colors that penetrated deepest were: 

 Huron, blue; Superior and Michigan, 

 green; Erie and Ontario, orange. Per- 

 centage penetration of incident irradi- 

 ance was greatest at sunrise and sunset 

 in Erie and Frains Lake, but at noon in 

 Lake Michigan (no similar study in other 

 waters).

Federal, Provincial, State, and uni- 

 versity agencies made a cooperative 

 limnological survey of central Lake 

 Erie in Septennber 1959 and lakewide in 

 August I960. Oxygen depletion was 

 severe in bottonn waters of about 70 per- 

 cent of the central basin each year. 

 Vertical temperature profiles and other 

 physical and chemical data were col- 

 lected. Factors of distribution of chemi- 

 cal values are discussed.

A statement on the location, area, 

 depth . . . and economic significance of 

 the Great Lakes is followed by a brief 

 review of their physical, chemical, and 

 biological characteristics and com- 

 ments on the fisheries. Principal section 

 is a history of limnological research 

 treated by three time periods: pre- 

 1900; 1900-49; and 1950-62. Recent 

 programs are discussed under headings: 

 U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries; 

 U.S. LakeSurvey; Great Lakes Research 

 Division, The University of Michigan; 

 University of Minnesota; Ontario De- 

 partment of Lands and Forests; Great 

 Lakes Institute, University of Toronto; 

 U.S. Public Health Service; and other 

 organizations.

Items studied in three synoptic sur- 

 veys in 1956 are outlined. Broad com- 

 ments are given on such matters as 

 inflow of Lake Huron water, outflow of 

 Saginaw Bay water, and flushing rates. 

 Certain changes of flow patterns are 

 described.

 tions and other water characteristics 

 (02» P^> specific conductance, total 

 alkalinity, Ca, Mg, Na, SiOz, P, N), and

 Some limited discussion of possible 

 significance of records is offered.
