Mi ni in inn flow of Kinderhook creek. The mean flow of this 

 stream at East Nassau for November, 1892, was 30 cubic feet per 

 second (catchment, 120 square miles), or at the rate of 0.25 cubic 

 foot per second per square mile. 



In 1894 the minimum flow at Wilson's dam was 1 cubic feet per 

 second (catchment, GS square miles), or at the rate of 0.06 cubic 

 foot per second per square mile. The minimum flow for August, 

 1894, at the same place was 5.2 cubic feet per second, or at the 

 rate of 0.08 cubic foot per second per square mile. 



Mini mum flow of Schroon river. Gagings of this stream are 

 kept at Warrensburg, but the natural flow is considerably ob- 

 scured by the storage of Schroon lake, which is controlled by the 

 Starbuckville dam. During the month of August, 1899, the mean 

 flow at Warrensburg was taken at 150 cubic feet per second 

 (catchment, 5G3 square miles), or at the rate of 0.27 cubic foot per 

 second per square mile, but this is not very precise. 



Minimum flow of Mohawk river. For four days in September, 

 1900, the flow of the Mohawk river at Dunsbach Ferry was 373 cubic 

 feet per second (catchment, 3110 square miles), or at the rate of 

 0.11 cubic foot per second per square mile. Probably the extreme 

 minimum would not exceed 0.07 or 0.08 cubic foot per second per 

 square mile. In October, 1900, the flow at the same place was 373 

 cubic feet per second for two days; 457 cubic feet per second for 

 three days; G25 cubic feet per second for seven days, and 541 cubic 

 feet per second for one day. 



The minimum flow of the Mohawk river as measured at Rexford 

 Flats during September, 1899, was 228 cubic feet per second 

 (catchment, 3385 square miles), or 0.0G cubic foot per second per 

 square mile for fifteen days, followed by a flow of 278 cubic feet 

 per second for ten days. The mean flow for the entire month of 

 August, 1899, was 291 cubic feet per second, or at the rate of 0.09 

 cubic foot per second per square mile, while for the last three 

 days of the month it was only 208 cubic feet per second. These 

 figures include the amount of water diverted to supply Erie canal, 

 or they are the total flow of Mohawk river at the point of gaging. 



The minimum flow of Mohawk river at Schenectady as meas- 

 ured in September, 1899, was 420 cubic feet per second (catch- 

 ment. 3321 square miles), or at the rate of 0.13 cubic foot per 

 second per square mile, for twelve days. The entire flow of the
