YELLOWSTONE RIVER, MONTANA. 
21 
diameter, sawed off about 3 feet above the ground, marked "B. M." on 
top. It is very nearly in line with the extended cross section on the 
right bank of the river, and about 50 feet above the upper end of 
the gage. The elevation of the bench mark above /,ero is 11.55 feet. 
Observations at this point were continued until November 4, 1893, 
except at times when ice in the river prevented accurate readings. 
From the discharge measurements made during 1890 and 1891 a rating 
table was constructed which is probably applicable to these readings 
for 1893, and is therefore given below : 
Eating table for Yellowstone Eiver at Horr station, Montana.
