hundred feet to nearly two hundred feet; and this expansion had 

 a broad, shallow area where wading and fish collecting could be 

 easily done, and here all the fish collections were made. The region 

 was visited but once, on June 7, 1915. 



Station 5. — Plate I, Fig. i. Part of the river near the rock 

 road bridge, a mile and a half southwest of Union Pier. The 

 stream was about a hundred feet wide here and was sluggish and 

 running through a broad strip of uncultivated flood plain. It was 

 shallow with firm clay bottom and had little evident water vegeta- 

 tion, except patches of a fine-leaved pondweed, Potamogeton and 

 some water lilies. In places along the bank were rows of large 

 willows overhanging the stream. The station was visited on 

 August 27, 1919. 



Station 7. — Plate I, Fig. 2. Junction of the north and south 

 branches of the Galien River about a mile south of Union Pier. 

 The stream was broad and so shallow that it could be waded every- 

 where. There were some broad gravel beaches due to low water 

 bordering a broad stream area with muck bottom and a thick 

 growth of a broad-leaf pondweed, making a place more favorable 

 for small fish than any other place of its size that we found in the 

 river. The station was visited on August 27, 1919. 



Station 10. — Galien River near the bridge about two miles 

 east of Union Pier. The water was deep, sluggish, turbid, and 

 much shaded by high banks and large trees and by the bridge. 

 The station was visited on August 27, 1919. 



Station 12. — Plate II, Fig. i. Galien River about a quarter 

 of a mile above Station 10. The stream was narrow and shallow 

 with firm sand bottom; the water was clear and with a marked 

 current. Large tufts of a narrow-leaf pondweed were present. 

 The station was visited on August 27, 1919. 



Station 25. — Plate III. River at the bend at the mouth of 

 the creek in the south part of Warren Woods. The stream was 

 from thirty to forty feet wide and was more than half-crossed by
