  In 
  July, 
  1899, 
  the 
  flow 
  for 
  the 
  month 
  was 
  748 
  cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  

   second 
  ; 
  for 
  August 
  of 
  that 
  year, 
  it 
  was 
  612 
  cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  second 
  ; 
  

   for 
  September, 
  615 
  cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  second, 
  and 
  for 
  October, 
  585 
  

   cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  second. 
  

  

  In 
  August, 
  1900, 
  the 
  mean 
  flow 
  was 
  669 
  cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  second; 
  

   September, 
  670 
  cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  second, 
  and 
  in 
  October, 
  853 
  cubic 
  feet 
  

   per 
  second. 
  

  

  It 
  may 
  be 
  again 
  remarked 
  that 
  these 
  flows 
  do 
  not 
  include 
  diver- 
  

   sion 
  for 
  the 
  Oswego 
  canal, 
  which, 
  however, 
  probably 
  did 
  not 
  ex- 
  

   ceed 
  100 
  to 
  150 
  cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  second. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  tabulation 
  gives 
  the 
  minimum 
  flows 
  of 
  Oswego 
  

   river 
  at 
  Fulton 
  during 
  1900, 
  as 
  determined 
  by 
  a 
  measurement 
  

   through 
  openings 
  in 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  bulkhead, 
  the 
  discharge 
  being 
  

   calculated 
  by 
  the 
  formula 
  for 
  orifices, 
  using 
  a 
  coefficient 
  of 
  0.62. 
  

   These 
  figures 
  only 
  apply 
  to 
  the 
  year 
  1900, 
  which, 
  on 
  reference 
  to 
  

   the 
  rainfall 
  tables, 
  is 
  shown 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  a 
  wet 
  year.
