One effect is that streams that drain the peninsula have pronounced summer and early fall maxi- mum flows whereas the streams of north Florida exhibit relatively uniform seasonal flow. The difference is the result of Florida's position in the transition zone between the tropical weather of the Caribbean and the temperate weather of the southeastern United States. Tables 3-1 through 3-51 record discharge of all gaged streams that flow into Florida's west coast estuaries. The data are from water sup- ply publications of the Geological Survey. In each table the data down to the "Mean" line were copied exactly as printed in Geological Survey publications. We calculated the monthly means, expressing results to the nearest tenth when the mean fell from to , and to the nearest hundredth when the mean fell from to When the mean was greater than , we expressed results to the nearest whole num- ber. The number in the lower right corner of each table (under "The year" and to the right of "Mean") is the mean of "The year" column, not the "Mean" line; it differs slightly from the number calculated by averaging monthly means because individual figures in "The year" column are calculated from the sum of daily discharges divided by 365, not from the sum of monthly mean discharges divided by 12. Table 3-52 summarizes the discharge of all west coast streams including pertinent springs studied by Ferguson et al. (1947). The table is divided into eight arbitrary segments to dem- onstrate regional differences of water supply. That of north Florida is much greater than that of central and south Florida (F
