Abstract

A study of the physical, chemical and biological features of Flathead Lake has been under way for a number of years. This work was sponsored by the Fish and Game Commission of Montana and was carried out by members of the staff of the State University. The bacteriological work forming the basis of this report was done during 1929 and 1930. A map of the lake is appended which shows its shape, the location of streams connected with it, the location of the Stations from which samples were taken and the names of towns and rivers referred to in the text. The lake covers approximately 189 square miles and has a maximum depth of 325 feet, the depth varying widely at different points. Its usual rise and fall is 10 to 13 feet annually.
