The maximum lake level is not yet attained; there may be a rise of 3 or 4 feet in the course of the next few years, to be made gradually in accordance with arrange- ments between the company and the property owners affected. The greatest depth in ordinary times will be about 40 feet, but the gen- eral depth wi...ll be much less. There will ensue a good deal of decomposition of old land vegeta- tion under water, but the effect of waves and surface wind currents, in connection with the circulation resulting from the regular flow of the river, will do much to reoxygenate the water. In course of time a proper growth of vegetation will be found in the bays, and this will form a most significant feature in the bionomics of the mature lake. Experience at Fairport with new ponds supplied with Mississippi River water shows that the development of a proper degree of aquatic vegetation is greatly hastened by artificial introduction of suitable plants, and we have found it difficult to obtain these in any variety from the local overflow ponds and slues of the Mississippi.
