Sample Notes 



Meadow Creek. The samples from Meadow Creek contained mostly moss. The sample 

 from the upper site was silty and the sample from the lower site was very silty. 



Martin Creek. Both samples from Martin Creek consisted mostly of moss. The sample 

 from the lower site was silty, but silt was not conspicuous in the sample from the upper site. 



Reimel Creek. Samples from both sites on Reimel Creek were silty. The sample from 

 the upper site contained moss. 



Ditch Creek. The sample from Ditch Creek was sparse and only an occasional diatom 

 was observed during the scan of soft algae. 



Deer Creek. Large cohesive mats of Oscillatoria sp. were abundant in the sample from 

 Deer Creek. Large, ear-shaped colonies of Nostoc sp. were also frequent in this sample. 



Overwhich Creek. Mats of Oscillatoria sp. dominated the sample from the upper site. 

 Filaments of Oscillatoria sp. dominated the sample from lower Overwhich Creek and colonies of 

 Nostoc sp. (round and ear-shaped) were frequent here. 



Buck Creek. The sample from Buck Creek contained moss and filaments of Vaucheria 

 sp. were observed tangled in the moss. 



Nez Perce Fork. The sample from the upper site contained mostly moss. Two large 

 ear-shaped colonies of Nostoc sp. were also found in this sample. The Chamaesiphon sp. in this 

 sample occurred as an epiphyte on Audouinella violacea. Stalks and cells of Didymosphenia sp. 

 dominated the sample from the middle site on Nez Perce Fork, whereas Rhopalodia gibba was 

 the visually most conspicuous diatom in the sample from the lower site.
