In July, 1S99, 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 ye<ar 1900, which, on reference to 

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