A study of the Potomac River Basin has been made by the writer in connection with the work of the Hydrographic Division of the United States Geological Survey. A gauging station was established on May 4th, 1891, at Chain Bridge, on the Potomac, 3 miles above Washington, D. C., for the measurement of the discharge of the river at that place. From that date to the present time three readings a day have been made of the height of the river, thus making it possible to eliminate the effect of the tide, which has a daily range at this place of about 3 feet.
