  comparable 
  results 
  may 
  still 
  be 
  obtained. 
  The 
  following 
  

   are 
  the 
  flows 
  at 
  the 
  two 
  stations 
  in 
  cubic

  second. 
  The 
  

   apparent 
  discrepancy 
  at 
  the 
  upper 
  station 
  in 
  October 
  is 
  explained 
  

   by 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  the 
  figures 
  for 
  that 
  month 
  are 
  the 
  means 
  of 
  only 
  

   the 
  last 
  sixteen 
  days.

  Lansing

  This 
  stream 
  rises 
  in 
  the 
  extreme 
  northern 
  part 
  of 
  

   Oneida, 
  county, 
  near 
  Boone 
  vi 
  lie, 
  and 
  flows 
  southerly 
  -to 
  the 
  village 
  

   of 
  Leila, 
  where 
  it 
  enters 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  river. 
  The 
  Lansing 
  kill 
  has 
  

   rapid 
  descent, 
  but 
  thus 
  far 
  there 
  is 
  not 
  much

  developed 
  

   upon 
  it.
