Excerpt from Hydrography of the Susquehanna River Drainage Basin The records and reports of the United States Geological Survey have been the Chief sources from which the data on ow have been obtained. These records have been carefully revised and in many cases recomputed. New rating tables based on all the discharge measurements to date have been prepared and the tables of estimated discharge have been revised to agree with these rating tables. These precomputations will account for the differences between the figures herein presented and many of those in the previous reports, as the latter were prepared from' year to year with Such information as was available. Special acknowledgment is due to E. G. Paul, resident hydrographer for Pennsylvania, who established the gaging stations and under whose direction the discharge measurements in this State have been made. The stations in New York were established and have been maintained under the direction of R. E; Horton, resident hydrographer for that State.
