The precipitation on the upper part of thePiscataquis basin is undoubtedly considerably greater than themean precipitation on the whole basin, and the unit discharge atFoxcroft is correspondingly greater than at the mouth of the Piscata-quis. The records for the Foxcroft gaging station are probablynot as reliable as those for the other tributaries, on account of thevariable use of water at the mills above Foxcroft, and the estimatesof flow during the winter months at Foxcroft are probably subjectto considerable error.
