Dove. 



Observations were made from March to November 1889 by Mr. H. H. 



Brindley at a point on the right 

 Curve XVIL— Dove, Uttoxeter. 9 or 10 a.m. bank of the Dove 11 miles east 



of Uttoxeter and about 14 miles 



^"' naia-^—^ from the junction of the river 



■with the Trent. At the place of 

 observation the river runs through 

 a fiat meadow, and the banks are 

 low, but an adjacent railway em- 

 bankment shelters it from south- 

 erly and south-westerly winds. 

 The stream is liable to sudden 

 floods, but rapidly regains its 

 normal size. Curve XVII. repro- 

 duces the weekly means, and, as 

 far as its fragmentary nature 

 allows one to judge, it appears to 

 closely resemble tbat for the 

 Trent.
