Certain limnological characteristics of streams draining into the east bank of New River in the vicinity of Mountain Lake, Virginia, have been determined as a part of the work in limnology at the Mountain Lake biological station in the summer of 1947. Field determinations of general water chemistry and productivity show these streams to be unpolluted and with chemical and thermal characteristics related to altitude and to the geological formations comprising the dominant bedrock. In general, chemical and productivity features of pond drain, hunter's branch, Littly Stony Creek, and the upper half of Big Stony Creek are all characteristic of mountain streams flowing through siliceous strata free of substances contributing to the alkali reserve. In contrast, within a short distance of the above, Sinking Creek and Spruce Run Creek show the characters of lowland alkaline streams of somewhat greater productivity potential in direct relation to the dominant dolomite strata comprising the bedrock of these streams. The information obtained is a contribution toward knowledge of the biogeochemical relationships in fresh waters.
