ABSTRACT The baseline limnology of Seminoe, Kortes, Pathfinder, and Alcova Reservoirs, on the North Platte River in Wyoming, was studied by Bureau limnologists during 1976-79. The study period included 2 years of severe drought followed by two of higher than average runoff in the North Platte basin. The reservoirs differ greatly in volume and operating patterns: Seminoe (1.25 x 10° m3) is mainly for 6 8 power production; Kortes (5.88 X 10 m3) and Alcova (2.27 x 1 0 m3), flow regulation; and Pathfinder (1.25 x 10° m3), for storage.

PREFACE was induced to erect this monument to James Bridger, and I write a brief biographical sketch of his life from the fact that most of the noted mountain men of his day have had their lives written up, while he, the most distinguished of them a1l, seems to have been neglected. I have waited a long time think­ ing that some of the noted writers who have made a study of the history of the country west of the Missouri River, and who have necessarily found much data relating to Bridger, would write a full history of his life, but I learned two or three years ago that after he returned from the Plains he had died and been buried on his farm, and that his grave was neglected and almost forgotten. Through the efforts of Captain] ohn B. Colton, the Mount Washington Cemetery Company of Kansas City donated a beautiful and prominent burial site, and Captain Colton moved Bridger's remains to it. During the last year the monument was constructed under my direction by Mr. M. H. Rice, of Kansas City, Mo., and on December I I, 1904 it was unveiled by Bridger's great-grandaughter, Marie Louise Lightle, and my sketch was read at the unveiling by my secretary, Mr.
