The Record of this study will consist of: I. A map, on which are indicated as clearly as possible: 1. Waterfalls and riffles, 2. The extent of each sort of bottom. 3. The principal plant beds. 4. The fish pools. II. List of all the water plants observed, arranged in a table with column headings as follows: Name (this wiU be supplied by the instructor). Grows where (that is, in which of the situations examined). Depth of ivater (approximate). Growth-habit (simple or branched, erect or trailing, stem- less, leafless, etc.). Remarks. III. List of all the water animals observed, arranged in a table with column headings as foUows: Name (this will be supplied by instructor, if needed). Lives where (in which of the situations examined)..
