Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Devils Lake, North Dakota The major part of the work has been devoted to a study of the plancton of the lake in its ecological relations, this forming the most important part of the life of the lake. Several general chemical anal yses (both organic and inorganic) have been made during the study, and analyses of certain constituents, especially the ammonias, nitrates. Nitrites, carbon dioxide and oxygen, have been made during part of the time at much more frequent intervals. This will be explained in detail in the proper place. In connection with the collections and analyses temperature records have been kept, and a study of the distribution of light at various depths has been made. The data of the U. S. Weather Bureau Station in the city of Devils Lake, eight km. Distant, have been drawn upon extensively, and these have been amplified to a certain extent by our own more or less fragmentary records of air temperatures and precipitation taken at the station. There are several reports on various phases of the biology of the Devils Lake region beginning with that of Pope but nothing as yet Of a comprehensive nature. There are brief notes on the physiography Of the region in Upham (1896) and Willard while Simpson (1912) gives a thorough treatment of this subject.
