  This 
  record 
  of 
  Genesee 
  river 
  is 
  made 
  up 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  From 
  April, 
  

   1890, 
  to 
  November, 
  1892, 
  actual 
  gagings 
  of 
  Oatka 
  creek, 
  above 
  

   the 
  village 
  of 
  Warsaw, 
  with 
  a 
  catchment 
  area 
  of 
  27.5 
  square 
  miles, 
  

   have 
  been 
  used. 
  From 
  December, 
  1892, 
  to 
  August, 
  1893, 
  in- 
  

   clusive, 
  gagings 
  were 
  not 
  kept 
  of 
  Genesee 
  river, 
  and 
  accordingly 
  

   for 
  this 
  period 
  the 
  runoff 
  is 
  approximately 
  computed 
  from 
  the 
  

   rainfall. 
  September, 
  1893, 
  to 
  February, 
  1897, 
  inclusive, 
  the 
  

   record 
  is 
  that 
  of 
  Genesee 
  river 
  at 
  Mount 
  Morris 
  (catchment, 
  1070 
  

   square 
  miles). 
  Early 
  in 
  March, 
  1897, 
  the 
  dam 
  over 
  which 
  the 
  

   gagings 
  were 
  made 
  was 
  carried 
  away 
  by 
  a 
  flood 
  and 
  the 
  record 
  

   for 
  the 
  balance 
  of 
  that 
  year 
  and 
  for 
  the 
  year 
  1898 
  is 
  deduced 
  

   from 
  the 
  record 
  at 
  Rochester 
  (catchment, 
  not 
  including 
  Hemlock 
  

   lake, 
  water 
  supply 
  of 
  the 
  city 
  of 
  Rochester, 
  2365 
  square 
  miles) 
  . 
  

  

  In 
  1896 
  a 
  sharp-crested 
  weir 
  was 
  erected 
  on 
  Genesee 
  river 
  about 
  

   two 
  and 
  one-half 
  miles 
  above 
  the 
  gaging 
  dam, 
  where 
  rock 
  bottom 
  

   clear 
  across 
  the 
  river 
  afforded 
  an 
  opportunity 
  for 
  such 
  construc- 
  

   tion 
  without 
  heavy 
  expense. 
  This 
  weir 
  was 
  made 
  perfectly 
  tight.
