as clearly as the naupli and immature forms. In 1898 the adults 
form only 10 per cent. of the total. 
The relation which hydrographic conditions bear to the 
copepodan population may be inferred in part from the comparison 
of years given above, and from the following table, in which are 
given the average number of Copepoda per m.* and the total monthly 
movement in river levels in July-December, 1897 and 1898.

With a total movement of 11.7 ft. in July-December in 1897 and 
nearly three times as much (30 ft.) in 1898, we find copepodan 
population falling off to less than one sixth that of the more stable 
year. 
Of the total Copepoda in our records for 1894-1899, 78 per cent. 
are nauplu of Cyclops and Diaptomus, 13 per cent. are immature 
Cyclops, and the remaining 9 per cent. are Harpacticide, Diapto- 
mus, and adult Cyclops. Of the twelve forms, Cyclops viridis var. 
imsectus is the most important quantitatively, and includes one 
fourth of the total adult copepodan population, exceeding the 
next in importance, C. viridis var. brevispinosus, by over threefold.
