Sample observations and analyses of soft (non-diatom) algae 

 were recorded in a lab notebook along with station and sample 

 information provided by r4DEQ . A portion of the raw sample was 

 used to make duplicate diatom slides. After completing the 

 diatom proportional count, the slide used for the count will be 

 deposited in the University of Montana Herbarium in Missoula. 

 The other slide will be retained by Hannaea in Helena. 



On completion of the project, station information, sample 

 information, and diatom proportional count data will be entered 

 into the Montana Diatom Database. 



RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 



Results are presented in Tables 5 and 6, which are located 

 near the end of this report following the Literature Cited 

 section. Spreadsheets containing completed diatom proportional 

 counts, with species' pollution tolerance classes (PTC) and 

 percent abundances, are attached as Appendix A. 



SAMPLE NOTES 



C 1. Mosses were present in this sample. The Protoderma 

 here was growing on organic debris. The Lyngbya in this sample 

 had a very distinct sheath and the trichomes were much wider than 

 those of Phormidium. 



C 2 . The sample from this site contained an unknown genus 

 of cyanobacteria . Audouinella, Oedogonium, Rhoicosphenia and 

 Cocconeis were present as epiphytes on Cladophora.
