Lake Maxinkuckee, Physical and Biological Survey 233 



On the 28th the ice was frozen irregulai'ly, with numerous air 

 holes. 



In December, 1901, the lake was frozen over on the 11th, and 

 solid on the 19th, the ice being 6 inches thick. In December, 1902, 

 Lost Lake was frozen entirely over on the 14th. 



In December, 1904, Lost Lake was frozen over on the first, the 

 ice being quite opaque. On the 2d it was 1^ inches thick and would 

 bear up, but cracked some on the west side where it was not so 

 thick. On the 3d the Outlet was partly frozen below the railroad 

 bridge. On the 9th the stream below the lake was pretty well 

 open. 



In January, 1901, Lost Lake was solid on the first and 2d; on 

 the 3d the ice was 10 inches thick and contained 9 planes of bub- 

 bles, one of which, 5.5 from the bottom, seemed to divide the whit- 

 ish upper ice from the lower clearer layer. On the 10th the ice 

 was 8 inches thick, and men were cutting it; on the 18th it was 

 9 inches and showed a hexagonal structure. On the 19th Lost Lake 

 was open at the north end and remained so for several days. On 

 the 20th all the stream below the lake was open. 



We have no February records. 



In March, 1901, Lost Lake was all open on the 25th, but it was 

 almost frozen over again by the 29th. 



In March, 1902, the lake M-as nearly open on the 13th but frozen
