Abstract

Dry Run, a tributary of Cedar River in Black Hawk County, Iowa, furnishes an excellent unit for studying the ecology of a prairie stream. It is rather exceptional in that for a greater portion of the year a natural barrier is formed where the stream flows underground for the last two miles of its course. This study is concerned only with the west branch which joins a brook of similar size near the grounds of the Cedar Valley Fair Association. While this paper deals only with a description of the creek and the distribution of its fish inhabitants, it is the plan to submit subsequent articles dealing with other forms found.
