The spring maximum is reached during themonth of May, either in the first or the latter part of themonth, according to the temperature. At the maximum thepopulation of the lake consists largely of Cyclops, about 70 percent, of the total in 1895, and 80 per cent, in 1896 consisting ofthis species. The multiplication of the Crustacea and rotifers during thespring seems to be more rapid than that of the algae, and in latespring at the time of the maximum, the algae are far lessnumerous with respect to the Crustacea than at any other seasonof the year. In a word, the eaters multiply in excess of thefood. This undue multiplication of the Crustacea puts a check.
