A single station situated about 300 yards from the VIMS pier was studied. Hydrographic, nutrient, chlorophyll, seston and productivity data obtained were summarized in Report No. 22 (1961) of this series. The diversity indices employed have been fully described in Special Scientific Report No. 23 (1961), and also in J. Mar. Res. �: 57-75 (1962).
