INTRODUCTION The present report discusses the physical conditions encountered during a biological survey of San Francisco Bay, which was com- menced in January, 1912, and covered the whole of that year, together with about half of the sueceeding one. No comprehensive account of this survey can be attempted until the principal biological data are ready for presentation in a generalized and serviceable form. For this we must await the completion of the labors of a number of spec- ialists who have undertaken the study of the various groups comprised in the fauna and flora of these waters. It has been regarded as highly desirable, however, that a preliminary report should be prepared, discussing the physical conditions which obtain in San Francisco Bay, and embodying the hydrographic observations made in the course of this survey. And the present seems an opportune time to record in brief the history and scope of the survey as a whole. In February, 1911, the Biological Division of the University of California prepared a series of recommendations looking to a biolog- ical survey of San Francisco Bay. Correspondence was entered into with Stanford University and with the State Fish and Game Com- mission of California, both of which organizations pledged their sup- port to the undertaking. A carefully prepared plan was at length drawn up by those chiefly interested in the project, and this plan was submitted to the Bureau of Fisheries and to the California delegation in Congress. Attention was therein called to the value of the fisheries of San Francisco Bay, and to the scanty knowledge of the biological and physical conditions upon which their existence depended. From the more purely scientific standpoint, the importance was urged of ob- taining data upon which to base a handbook or series of monographic papers dealing with the local marine fauna and flora. Such a work would be of great value to naturalists, as well as to those having economic problems more clearly in view. The presence of the United States Fisheries steamer ‘‘ Albatross’’ in the neighborhood of San Francisco during a considerable part of each year suggested the most practicable means by which such a survey 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 3 could be conducted, and it was therefore proposed that the federal Bureau of Fisheries should undertake the execution of this project, in co-operation with the institutions named. That Bureau assented cordially to the proposal, which had already been discussed informally at a considerably earlier date. In October, 1911, formal approval was given to the plan, under conditions pre- seribed by the Bureau of Fisheries. The execution of the project was later vested in a board, consisting of the commanding officer and the Albatross’’, and a third member to be designated by the committee representing the local institutions above mentioned. Professor C. A. Kofoid, of the University of California, was chosen as the representative of the latter body, while the other members were Commander G. H. Burrage, U. 8. N., sueceeded by Lieutenant-Com- mander H. B. Soule, U. 8S. N., together with the senior author of the ce naturalist of the present report. A definite programme of work was formulated, and some important additions to the equipment of the ‘‘ Albatross’? were decided upon. Field operations were commenced on January 30, 1912. This survey has been concerned almost wholly with San Francisco Bay, including San Pablo Bay, though a considerable number of stations were dredged outside of the Golden Gate, even to a point beyond the Farallon Islands. The stations which were occupied by the ‘‘Albatross’’ or by one of her launches have been classified under two main heads: (1) those at which our chief attention was devoted to dredging or trawling, and (2) those at which we were chiefly concerned with hydrographic observations and with plankton collection. The former have been designated in our records as “‘ dredging stations,’’ the latter as “‘hydro- To each series an independent set of consecutive 9? graphic stations. numbers has been given, continuous with those of the past ‘‘ Alba- tross’’ records. The station numbers are preceded by the letters D and H respectively. In the former series there are, at the date of writing, 149 stations, in the latter series 322 stations. In the deeper waters the ‘‘Albatross’’ herself was employed in these operations, in the shallower waters a launch was used. In either case, however, the position of the vessel was determined at various points in the course of a haul by means of a sextant or an azimuth compass. With the launches it was, of course, impossible to employ any of the heavier types of apparatus, so that the exploration of the extensive areas of shoal water, so characteristic of San Francisco Bay, + University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 has necessarily been much less thorough than that of the navigable waters. Even less attention has been devoted to the littoral (intertidal) zone, though collecting parties visited the following points and ob- tained considerable material: Bonita Point (piles of pier and between tides on shore), Presidio shore, Sausalito (piles of pier and on beach), Red Rock, Richmond, Key Route pier (off Oakland). This limitation of the scope of our collecting operations has resulted from the inadequacy of the force available for such work, as well as from the necessity of restricting the amount of material accumulated for subsequent examination. It was early decided that we must resist the temptation, to which so many collectors yield, of continuing indefi- nitely the gathering of specimens, without regard for the likelihood of compiling any scientific results of value. It is fully realized, however, that a complete biological survey of these waters requires the exploration of certain fields as yet scarcely touched, and it is hoped that some of the more important of these gaps may be filled in before the preparation of the final report. Certain special investigations were undertaken, with a view to bringing our work into more immediate relation with the local fisheries interests. Several trips were made, for example, to the oyster beds of the Morgan, M. B. Moraghan and Darbee-Immel oyster companies, in the southern parts of the bay. We must here acknowledge the courtesy of representatives of these various companies, who provided us with every facility for the work. At each of the beds tow-net hauls were made and samples of the water, of the bottom, and of the oysters themselves were brought away. Further water samples for titration have likewise been kindly supplied us by the Morgan Oyster Company at regular intervals throughout about ten months. Mr. Johnston, Fisheries Expert of the ‘‘Albatross,’’ has made many seine hauls, chiefly in that part of the bay lying nearest to the Golden Gate. He has likewise made numerous visits to the fish mar- kets of San Francisco, recording the occurrence of the various mar- ketable fishes at different seasons, and frequently the prices at which they were sold. Mr. Johnston furthermore accompanied the trawling steamers of the A. Paladini Company on a considerable number of fishing trips outside of the bay during the latter half of 1912, securing abundant records of the catch and in many eases specimens of interest. It must be stated, however, that thus far a larger share of the efforts of the scientific staff has been devoted to the more fundamental 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 5 task of accurately portraying the principal life conditions to which organisms in general are subjected in San Francisco Bay. This work is the necessary preliminary to any investigation of the more special problems relating to this or that fishery industry. Furthermore, our experience has already made it evident that no satisfactory study of these problems can be attempted without the expenditure of much time and of expert labor on the part of a number of persons through- out a period of several vears. Any investigation less thorough than this would necessarily be superficial, and would probably involve a waste of time and of money. The decline of the oyster industry, in particular, demands a thor- oughgoing investigation on the part of competent experts, who should be detailed for this duty alone. According to Statistical Bulletin no. 289 of the United States Bureau of Fisheries (‘‘Oyster Industry of the Pacifie Coast States, 1912’’), the yield of oysters in California (ehiefly San Francisco Bay) has fallen from 420,000 bushels, valued at $867,000, in 1899, to 68,037 bushels, valued at $280,344, in 1912. A great diversity of opinion is expressed by those chiefly interested as to the cause of this disastrous decline, but all agree that the matter ought to be seriously investigated. While the present report does not claim to make any direct con- tribution to a solution of this problem, we are of the opinion that the physical data which we offer herewith will have to be fully reckoned with by those who undertake the task. Indeed, any investigation which is not based upon an adequate knowledge of these data may be dismissed as futile. An account of the methods employed in the course of our hydro- eraphie observations will be deferred to the following chapter. Those which were followed in the dredging and the plankton work will, however, be recorded briefly forthwith. At the dredging stations of the regular series we made use of one or more of the following types of apparatus: (1) The beam trawl. This was either of the Tanner or the Agassiz type, and varied in beam length from 3 to 12 feet (0.9 to 3.7 meters). (2) A special improvement of the Tanner trawl, to which we have given the name of ‘‘sledge trawl’’ (plate 8). It was found that the narrow iron runners of an ordinary beam trawl sank so deeply into the soft bottom of certain regions of the bay that the net speedily filled with mud and was landed with great difficulty, if at all. Not infrequently the bag burst just before leaving the water, so that the 6 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 entire contents, weighing a ton or more, were lost. To remedy this difficulty the simple expedient was adopted of attaching a broad ce wooden ‘‘shoe’’ to each of the trawl runners. These ‘‘shoes’’ were of oak plank, eleven inches wide and about one inch thick, and were bent upward at the fore end after the manner of Norwegian snow- shoes or skis. This device was found to serve the purpose admirably. Surface organisms were scraped from bottoms of soft mud, often throughout a course of half a mile or more, while little or none of the mud remained in the bag. (3) The ordinary dredge, of the type said to have been originated by O. F. Miiller (referred to in our records under the familiar name of ‘‘boat dredge’’). This was commonly provided with an inner bag of fine fish netting, tied at the bottom, and an outer sheathing of canvas. The latter was commonly left open at the end to permit the passage of water, though it was sometimes tied up in order to retain the bottom material. Sometimes the dredge net was dispensed with, the canvas bag (‘‘mud bag’’) alone being used. In operations with the ‘‘ Albatross’? the dredge most commonly used had a width of 19 inches (48 em.) and was generally fastened to the end of the trawl net. When dredging was conducted with the launch, a smaller pat- tern was employed, and it was used independently of any other form of apparatus. (4) A very heavily built iron dredge (plate 9), which, except for the strength of the materials used, followed the pattern of a com- mercial oyster dredge. The design for this was adapted from the figure given by the Massachusetts Commissioners of Fisheries and Game (1909). The length of the toothed bar was 3 feet 6 inches (1.07 meters), while the distance from this to the attachment of the cable was 4 feet 7 inches (1.4 meters). Most of the iron used had a section of 1 by 2 inches, while the teeth were three-quarter inch square. The bag was about 3 feet deep and consisted of steel rings 2 inches in diameter and of one-quarter inch materials. When in use this chain bag was commonly lined with a bag of fish netting, in order that the finer bottom materials and the smaller organisms might be retained. It is rather surprising how little thought seems to have been de- voted by those engaged in devising oceanic collecting apparatus to types of dredges suitable for use upon very rough bottoms. The one here figured has repeatedly brought up hundreds of pounds of stones, some of them a foot or more in diameter, from bottoms upon which a beam trawl would speedily have come to grief. The only accident 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay o thus far has been the breaking of some of the teeth. Since these are fastened to the frame by bolts, they may readily be replaced. (5) An iron mud dredge, of the type known commercially as the ‘‘orange-peel bucket’? (pl. 10). The one employed was the ‘* Dwarf Bucket, No. 7’’ of the catalogue of the Hayward Company of New York. The capacity, according to the manufacturer’s statement, was 21% eubie feet (0.07 eubie meter). Since, however, in our work the mass of mud commonly projected from several inches to a foot above the rim of the bucket, it is probable that we sometimes obtained twice the volume stated. As employed by us, this mud bucket was operated by a single cable, the closure being effected by means of an automatic tripping mechanism devised for the purpose. For ordinary indus- trial uses two cables are employed with this apparatus, one of which is used for lowering it, the other for closing and raising it. In our device the fall of a ring, following the grounding of the dredge, released the cable from its connection with a hook (‘‘slip-hook’’) fas- tened to the upper end of the apparatus. As soon as the reeling in was commenced the strain was transferred to a terminal section of extra flexible cable, wound around a sheave, the revolution of which brought together the blades (pl. 10, figs. 11-13). A conical canvas hood was adjusted to the upper frame of this dredge, in order to prevent the washing out of the contents while being raised through the water. During descent a large flap, or valve, permitted the water to escape. So far as we know, ours is the first application to biological ex- ploration of this type of apparatus. After considerable experience, we can unreservedly recommend its use for such purposes, at least in relatively shallow waters. Its chief advantage lies in the taking of comparatively large masses of mud from a single spot, and partic- ularly in the penetrating power of the apparatus which renders pos- sible the capture of deeply burrowing annelids, lamellibranchs, ete. The material brought in by these various types of dredges and trawls was emptied upon a graduated series of screens (the ‘‘table sieve’’ of Verrill and Chester) and subjected to washing with a hose. The coarsest of these screens had meshes one inch square, the finest having meshes one twenty-fourth inch square. The organisms of various groups were sorted and preserved, either on deck or in the laboratory, and were subsequently referred to specialists for exam- ination. In the plankton collecting, three tow-nets were used simultaneously, these being operated on the dredging cable. A large net of 000 silk 8 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 bolting-cloth was employed, attached to a rine 4 feet in diameter, together with two smaller nets, of no. 12 and no. 20! bolting-cloth respectively, and having an aperture of about 14 inches. The contents of the three nets were preserved separately, and kept distinet by those engaged in studying the collections. The tow-net hauls were horizontal ones of rather indefinite dura- tion and depth. When the current was sufficiently strong, the nets were allowed to swing freely in the latter during the ten-minute period in which the vessel was at anchor for the hydrographic obser- vations. When the tidal current was too weak to carry the nets into a horizontal position the vessel steamed slowly for five or ten minutes after lifting anchor, and the plankton haul was then made. The nets were lowered to a point some distance above the bottom, an iron weight (138 pounds) being attached to the end of the cable. Exact control of depth was unfortunately impossible, and care was necessary in order to prevent the rim of the larger net from scraping the bottom and scooping up large quantities of mud. Vertical hauls were found to be impracticable, owing to the force of the tidal currents. In such shoal waters as those of San Francisco Bay, and particu- larly amid such swift currents, it does not seem likely that the vertical distribution of plankton is commonly of much significance. At any rate, no observations have been made by us to test this point. In addition to the taking of plankton at the regular hydrographic stations, tow-net hauls with the three nets referred to have been made at weekly intervals in the vicinity of Sausalito, throughout a consid- erable number of months, at various seasons of the year. The animal and plant species from each of these various stations have in a large degree been sorted out and referred to appropriate specialists. Bottom samples were likewise saved from most of the dredging stations and from many of the hydrographic stations, while water samples, both from surface and bottom, were preserved at all of the latter. For the use of those engaged in a study of one or another group of organisms, blue-print charts were early prepared, indicating the position of the various stations so far occupied in San Francisco Bay, and mineograph sheets were likewise distributed, giving such notes as to depth, character of bottom, salinity, temperature, ete., as had been recorded for each. These data, in a revised form, appear in the appendices to the present report. A special chart (pls. 3 and 4) for 1 This is the cloth generally known to planktologists as “No. 20.’’? Lohmann (1911) states that this number was changed by the manufacturers in 1907 to GEIS Pa? 1914) Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 9 plotting the distribution of species or of physical conditions was like- wise prepared by the draughtsman of the Bureau, and an edition of one thousand was printed at the Government Printing Office. The early publication of the results thus far obtained upon the physical conditions encountered in San Francisco Bay is regarded as important as an aid to those engaged in the study of the various organisms collected in the course of the present survey. Since the chief value of such studies lies in the light whieh they may throw upon the distribution of species—economie and otherwise—it is of the utmost importance for us to discover the various physical factors which may be responsible for the occurrence of these species in a given locality. That definite correlations actually exist between phys- ical conditions and the distribution of species is a mere platitude to zoologists, but it is equally true that in comparatively few cases do we know the factors which are actually responsible for limiting the range of a given form. Much light may sometimes be thrown upon this subject by the method of carefully plotting the distribution pat- terns of various species within an area in which the physical conditions are fairly well known (see Sumner, Osburn, Cole, and Davis. 1913). In the ease of all such undertakings as the present, any results of value which are obtained must be credited to the united efforts of a large number of persons. This number is unfortunately too great in the present instance to permit of the names of all of them appearing on the title page of this report. A large share of credit for whatever success has attended our efforts is due to the naval officers of the ‘* Albatross’’, particularly to the successive commanders, Commander G. H. Burrage and, throughout a much greater part of the time, Lieu- tenant-Commander H. B. Soule, and to the executive officer, Lieu- tenant L. B. Porterfield. To Professor C. A. Kofoid is due much of the eredit for initiating the entire project here discussed, as well as for giving to the authors the benefit of his wide experience in marine exploration throughout the course of the work. Through the courtesy of the University of California we have much of the time occupied quarters in the Zoology Building, in which considerable portions of our laboratory work have been carried on. Acknowledgment must be made to Professor R. 8S. Holway for valuable information and suggestions regarding the hydrography and physical geography of this region. To Mr. H. D. McGlashan, district engineer of the United States Geological Survey, we are indebted for information regarding the flow of the two great rivers which discharge 10 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 into San Francisco Bay, as well as the methods employed in computing this. We have also to thank Mr. McGlashan for the loan of a Price current meter during the early phases of our work. The determination of nitrogen in sixty mud samples from the bay was made through the courtesy of Dr. C. L. Alsberg, Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture. Acknowledgments will be made, at the proper time, of the services of those zoologists and botanists who have given their time to the task of identifying the various collections. The senior author of this report, as naturalist of the ‘‘ Albatross’’, has had general supervision of the field work of the vessel, the dis- position of the material collected and other executive duties relating to the conduct of the survey. He has likewise superintended the com- pilation of the data herewith published and has written the present report as a whole. Professor Louderback has in a large degree prescribed the methods which have been followed in the examination of the bottom samples, and has, to a considerable extent, supervised the laboratory analyses of these samples, as well as making a personal study of them. He will independently prepare a more complete report upon the bottom samples, when these have been subjected to further study. Messrs. Schmitt and Johnston, of the scientific staff of the ‘‘ Alba- tross’’, have had immediate charge of the field collecting and hydro- eraphie observations on the greater number of days, after the earlier operations of the survey. They have also performed nearly all of the titrations of the sea water, and most of the laboratory work involved in the analysis of the bottom samples. To their lot, likewise, has fallen the larger part of the tedious computations necessary for the presentation of these results in generalized form. Their share in the work is far from having been purely mechanical, and they are there- fore justly entitled to rank among the joint authors of the present report. Mention must also be made of the important services of the clerk of the ‘‘Albatross’’, Mr. R. A. Coleman, who has carried out with much care and precision a considerable part of the statistical work necessary for a proper treatment of the physical data. The various curves for temperature and salinity, as well as the three charts (pls. 5, 6, 7) giving the results of the bottom analyses, are the work of Mr. Samuel Laverty, a student in the College of Civil Engineering of the University of California. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 11 II. PROCEDURE FOLLOWED AND APPARATUS USED IN THE HYDROGRAPHIC WORK OF THE SURVEY The principal hydrographic observations here to be discussed ex- tended through a period of one year, viz., from February, 1912, to January, 1913. Six complete series of observations were made throughout the entire bay. It was intended that these series should be at intervals of two months, and this plan was adhered to, so far as possible. Circumstances disturbed the regular programme some- what, however, and the actual periods of observation were as follows: (1) February 13 to 27, 1912; (2) April 23 to May 6, 1912; (3) July 22 to 31, 1912; (4) October 7 to 12, 1912; (5) November 25 to De- cember 5, 1912, and (6) January 13 to 28, 1913. During each of these six periods the various stations were visited twice, once during the flood and once during the ebb tide. Since there were twenty-three regular hydrographic stations, there would thus have been 276 sets of observations in the regular series, had there been no gaps in the latter. As a matter of fact, the number was somewhat less than this, owing to certain unavoidable omissions. In addition to the data derived from this principal series of stations, hydrographic observations were made at a considerable num- ber of other points in the bay, notably at the oyster beds, and lke- wise outside of the Golden Gate, at most of the dredging stations in those waters. Furthermore, a rather extensive supplementary set of observations was made in the bay during July, 1913. Six of the earlier stations were then visited at flood and ebb tide, and twelve new ones were added in regions where the regular stations were lacking. On two occasions, also, the ship was anchored at a single point throughout approximately a complete tidal cycle of twelve hours, the observations being made hourly. For the purposes of the field operations, the stations of the regular series were divided into three groups, according to locality. These corresponded to the ‘‘upper middle’’, and ‘‘lower’’ sections of the bay, referred to below (p. 23}. It will be seen that the station num- IED ACS ; bers do not form a single consecutive series. This resulted from circumstances which it is hardly worth while to explain. The num- bers which appear on the charts and in the temperature and density tables of the present report are the ones given at the time of the first visits to the respective stations. The repetitions of these same 12 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Von. 14 positions during the later periods of the work were all treated in the ship’s records as new stations, and were designated by new numbers. Plankton collections made at the same point at different times thus bear different numbers. In Appendix II these later hydrographic stations may be identified in position with those of the primary series. Ordinarily the entire series of observations for one of the periods required six days. A separate day was devoted to each of the regions above indicated (containing seven or eight stations) at each phase of the tide (flood and ebb). It was our endeavor to commence work in each region, or group of stations, as soon as possible after the turn of the tide, and to finish the group before the next period of slack water. This was commonly accomplished, though it was not invari- ably possible. The duration of current flow in a given direction could not commonly be predicted with any accuracy from the time of high or of low water, as stated in the ‘‘Tide Tables.’’ Except on three days of the hydrographic work (one in the first, one in the second, and one in the fourth period), the vessel invariably moved up stream in passing from one station to another. There was thus avoided the possibility of our repeating observations upon practically the same mass of water, which might have been the case had we steamed down stream and anchored for the customary period. Before commencing the observations at any given station, the ship was anchored and allowed to swing into position according to the direction of wind and current. She remained at anchor for ten minutes after the commencement of operations. The phase of tide could commonly be determined from the direction of the drift past the ship. In a few eases, observations which should have been made during the ebb period were made during the commencement (or the end) of the flood period, or vice versa, and in certain cases the ebb (or flood) observation for a given period was omitted altogether. Allowance has been made in the computations for these imperfections in our data. The procedure followed at each hydrographic station involved the following operations : (1) The depth was taken by one of the seamen from the bow, while it was likewise indicated by the sounding machine on the quarter- deck, from which the thermometers and water-sample bottles were operated. (2) A water sample from the surface was obtained by lowering a copper vessel on the end of a rope. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 13 (3) The surface temperature was taken by means of a Negretti- Zambra reversing thermometer, immersed to a depth of a foot or two beneath the water surface. The thermometer was operated by a mes- senger, which was released after an interval of ten minutes. This was believed to be a more reliable method than that of dipping an ordinary thermometer into a pail of water on deck, for the temper- ature of such water might change appreciably before the reading could be made. (4) A water sample from the bottom was taken by means of an Ekman reversing water bottle. This instrument has been fully de- seribed by its inventor (Ekman, 1905a), and no further account of it is required here. Two of these instruments were made for the ‘‘ Alba- tross’’ by Mr. Valdemar Arntzen, expert mechanic of the University of California. Both surface and bottom waters were preserved in snap-top pint bottles, having a porcelain stopper and rubber ring. The kind used were those known to the trade as ‘‘citrate of magnesia bottles.’’ They were thoroughly washed with sea water before use. (5) The bottom temperature was determined by means of two Negretti-Zambra thermometers, mounted in the frame of an Ekman water bottle, and reversing with this. The mean of the two readings has been employed by us in our computations. The instruments were left at the bottom for ten minutes. The thermometers used were all standardized, and the proper corrections have been applied to the readings. Although the scale, in our instruments, was comparatively short, our readings are be- lieved to have been aecurate to within one-tenth of one degree Fahren- heit.2. Amid differences of such magnitude as were found in San Francisco Bay, errors of smaller extent are believed to be negligible. (6) Air temperatures were not taken by the scientific staff, since they were recorded at hourly intervals on the ‘‘ Albatross”’ to custom, by the ship’s quartermasters. The thermometers used for this purpose have not been carefully tested, but they are believed to be accurate to within a half degree F. A greater source of error is , according undoubtedly the heat from the ship’s furnaces, which must, at times, have a considerable effect upon the recorded air temperature. For this and other reasons little use has been made by us of these figures. 2 Unfortunately the instruments all bore the Fahrenheit scale, but the centi- grade equivalents are given in the tables. 14 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 (7) The velocity of the tidal current was ascertained with a Price current meter,’ which was suspended from the port or starboard gangway, at a distance of four or five feet from the ship’s side. It was immersed to a depth of only two or three feet beneath the water’s surface. This useful instrument is represented in plate 11, which is reproduced by the courtesy of the manufacturers, Messrs. W. and L. E. Gurley, of Troy, New York. The revolutions of the wheel, which is construeted much like that of an anemometer, produce clicks which are communicated to the ear by means of a telephone receiver. From the number of clicks in a given interval (determined by a stop- watch) the velocity of the stream in feet per second can be readily ascertained by reference to a table. The instrument now owned by the ‘‘ Albatross’’ was tested by the Bureau of Standards. The tests of the latter were, however, made in fresh water. For strict accuracy, it would be necessary to apply a correction, owing to the higher viscosity of sea water. The extent of this error is not even approximately known. (8) Tow-net hauls were made according to the system described above (pp. 7 and 8). (9) During two of the bi-monthly periods samples of the bottom material for quantitative studies were taken by means of a special apparatus, at all of the hydrographic stations of the regular series, except at a very few where the bottom was too hard to allow of a sufficient penetration by the instrument. Samples of the same sort were obtained at a number of stations which did not belong to the regular hydrographie series. As above stated, portions of the bottom material, brought up by the dredge, were preserved at nearly all of the dredging stations, but these were not adapted to revealing certain important features of the bottom of the bay. It was regarded as an important requirement to obtain cylindrical samples or cores, extending into the mud or sand as deeply as possible and preserving whatever stratification might exist there. Two instruments of somewhat different type were tried for the purpose. The first was the Ekman (1905b) bottom sampler, one of which was constructed for us by Mr. Arntzen. A rather extensive trial of this apparatus was made, and bottom samples were taken at 3 Our thanks are due to Mr. H. D, MeGlashan, of the United States Geolog- ieal Survey, Water Resources Division, for the loan of one of these instruments during the second of our periods of observation. Later one was purchased for the vessel. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 15 a considerable number of hydrographic stations. But the Ekman sampler was found to have two rather fundamental defects, which rendered it inadequate for the purposes of the work in hand. In the first place, the stationary weight is placed altogether too high, so that the center of gravity is actually above the midpoint in the length of the instrument. As a consequence, the latter could not be depended upon to maintain its vertical position throughout the course of the descent. In the fairly swift currents of this bay it was found that the lower end of the tube began to veer as soon as it entered the water, and undoubtedly it struck the bottom at a consid- erable angle in most cases. In the second place, the pair of jaws which are intended to meet below the cutting edge of the tube, and prevent the escape of the mud, frequently failed to work, and the sample was partly or wholly lost. This was due to the very slight leverage exerted on these jaws by the pressure of the movable weight. The force was found to be searcely more than sufficient, even when the latter fell the entire length of the tube, and brought to bear a considerable impact upon the basal ends of the jaws. But commonly no great impact was exerted, owing to the tube’s being buried in the mud before the release of the weight. Thus the only force brought to bear on the jaws was oftentimes the mere pressure of the movable weight, after the with- drawal of the apparatus from the bottom. And it may be added that the clogging effects of the mud not infrequently prevented the ‘‘mov- able’’ weight from falling at all. A considerable number of samples were none the less taken with the Ekman instrument, though these were, on the average, much shorter than those taken with the apparatus soon to be described. At the suggestion of Professor Kofoid, pasteboard tubes were used in the Ekman sampler, certain minor modifications in the latter being necessary as a consequence. The pasteboard tube, with its enclosed mud, could be removed entire, and corked at both ends. This ex- tremely practicable idea was likewise adapted to the improved instru- ment which was later used. In view of the inadequacy of the Ekman sampling apparatus, and the importance of obtaining mud samples of the greatest possible depth, considerable thought was devoted to this matter by the scien- tifie staff of the ‘‘Albatross’’, and by Professor Kofoid and others. The problem was placed in the hands of Mr. Valdemar Arntzen, ex- pert mechanic of the University of California, who designed and 16 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 made the apparatus finally adopted, and himself contributed a number of its distinguishing features. f This instrument avoids the two principal defects of the Ekman apparatus: (1) the undue raising of the center of gravity, owing to the concentration of weight at an elevated point, and (2) the insuffi- cient mechanism for closing the lower end of the tube, after the entrance of the bottom material. The former result is attained by distributing the weight uniformly from a level not far above that of the lower end of the tube for a distance of 4 feet 6 inches (137 em.) along the latter. The shutting in of the tube contents at the lower end is insured by a special valve whose structure and mode of oper- ation will be deseribed shortly. Many of the features of our appar- atus have obviously been borrowed from that of Ekman. This improved instrument has been named the ‘‘ ‘ Albatross’ > 30ttom-sampling Apparatus.’’ The chief features of its construction are shown in plates 12 and 13. Two examples, differing slightly in construction, have been manufactured for the use of the ‘* Albatross’’. The first of these, after being used very successfully in San Francisco Bay, was sent to the Fisheries steamer ‘‘ Fish Hawk,’’ for use in the Gulf of Mexico. The second differs from this chiefly in the length of the upper rod or stem (Stm), which is shorter and thicker in the later pattern. This change was made owing to the tendency of this rod to bend under the influence of the powerful lateral strain to which it was frequently subjected in being hauled out of the mud. The length of the second model is 9 feet 3 inches over all (282 em.), that of the first one being somewhat greater than this. The length of the inner tube, between the upper and lower valves (and thus the maximum length of the samples taken), is slightly less than 6 feet (180 em.). The total weight of the apparatus is 154 pounds (70 kilo- erams) for the first model, or 175 pounds (79.5 kilograms) for the second. With the exception of the lead filling, the instrument is constructed wholly of brass and bronze. The Albatross sampling apparatus is divisible at the flanges (F1.) into two leneths, which are uncoupled by loosening the wing-nuts. +The application of this particular type of valve is Mr. Arntzen’s chief contribution to the instrument, and upon it, in large measure, depends the success of the latter. His originality in this invention is in no wise lessened by the faet that a somewhat similar arrangement had already been employed by the Prince of Monaco, since this fact was overlooked until the completion of our own instrument. (See Richard, 1900, pp. 13 to 16, figs. 8, 4, 5.) The valve there deseribed is only roughly comparable with our own, however, and other- wise the two instruments have little in common. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 7 The upper portion consists of a heavy brass tube (Up. T.), termin- ce ating in the “‘stirrup’’ (Str.), which bears the release lugs (FR. L.) and the upper valve (Up. V.) This tube contains a heavy sliding rod of bronze (Stm.), terminating above in a ring or eye (fg.), to which the rope or cable is fastened, and below in a transverse bar, the “‘trip bar”? (7. B.), to which is attached the upper section of the long, slender brass rod that operates the lower valve. The lower portion of the apparatus consists of an inner and outer brass tube, between which is a layer of lead, giving the required weight. Within the lead, on one side, is a third tube of small diam- eter, through which passes the lower section of the slender brass rod, above referred to, which connects the trip bar with the lower valve. The inner brass tube has an internal diameter of two inches (51 mm.). When in use it contains a closely fitting tube of pasteboard, which has previously been thoroughly soaked in melted paraffin. A new pasteboard tube is, of course, inserted with each use of the apparatus. This tube is held in position at each end by an annular ledge or seat. The lower of these ledges (pl. 13, LZ.) lies just above the lower valve, the upper one is situated just below the upper valve. The upper ledge is borne on a threaded ring, which may be adjusted up or down, in accordance with the exact length of the pasteboard tube. The insertion and removal of the pasteboard tubes necessitates the uncoupling of the apparatus at the flanges. After removal the tube is cut down to the exact length of the sample taken, and a paraffined cork is inserted at each end. This first pasteboard tube is then in- serted into a slightly larger one for the sake of greater rigidity, and enough melted paraffin is poured into each end to cover the corks sufficiently. The outer brass tube has an external diameter of 35¢ inches (92 mm.). This tube, with its lead filling, extends upward for a distance of 54 inches (137 em.). At its lower end is the “‘valve-housing’’ (V. H.), which contains a valve (V.) like that of an ordinary faucet. When open, this is transversed by an aperture which is 134 inches (44 mm.) in diameter and is of uniform calibre above and _ below, without offering any rough edges or other obstacles to the passage of the mud. The pasteboard tubes likewise have this same internal diameter. The valve-housing tapers toward the bottom, terminating in a detachable ‘‘shoe’’ (Sh.) bearing a cutting edge for penetrating the mud. 18 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vor. 14 When the apparatus is to be used, the upper rod or stem is pushed down. The lugs are rotated inward (against the force of spiral springs in their interior), so that they come to lie above the transverse bar and block its ascent to the upper limit of the stirrup. When lifted by the ring or eye at the top, the weight of the apparatus is thus thrown upon the stirrup, but no pull is exerted upon the slender rod controlling the lower valve. In our work, the apparatus is dropped freely from a distance of some feet above the water line, the rope being allowed to run out with- out hindrance. Upon reaching the bottom the upper sliding rod falls of its own weight, carrying with it the transverse bar and releasing the lugs, which assume their original positions. When the line is reeled in this rod and bar are now free to slide upward as far as the stirrup will allow. In so doing the slender rod is drawn up, thus closing the lower valve. This slender rod is made in two pieces, which are connected by a temporary link of copper wire (pl. 12, fig. 15) just below the flanges. The object of the latter arrangement is to save the valve from damage, in ease it is prevented from closing by the presence of a stone or large shell. In that ease the whole weight of the instrument (plus the force required to extricate it from the mud) is thrown upon the wire link, which breaks and relieves the valve of further strain. Ordinarily, one thickness of no. 14 (American gauge) copper wire has been used for making this link. The upper valve allows the water to escape from the tube during the descent of the apparatus, while preventing its entrance during ascent. The lower valve prevents the escape of the mud during the ascent, though it has sometimes failed to close completely when the wire link was too long. Its complete closure is not, however, necessary in tenacious mud, provided that the upper valve functions properly. This apparatus cannot be used except upon bottoms of mud or of fine sand. The cutting edge at the lower edge is naturally blunted and dented by striking stones, and for this reason extra parts are necessary. Shells, however, are frequently found to be cut rather smoothly, even the comparatively thick shell of the native oyster (Ostrea lurida) having, on oceasions, been stamped out as if by a punch. In general, the depth to which the tube penetrates is inversely proportional to amount of sand, shells or other matter contained in the mud. In perfectly clear mud, such as that found near the southern end of San Francisco Bay, perfect samples 180 em. in length (1.e., up to the capacity of the apparatus) were taken on a number of occasions. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 19 Since on these bottoms the instrument buried itself in the mud far beyond the upper valve, it is certain that much longer samples could have been taken had the length of the tube been greater. These various water and bottom samples taken during the field work were preserved for subsequent laboratory study on shore. The methods followed in the treatment of these will be discussed at length in a later section of this report. Some months after the preparation of the present report, it was found possible to test the Albatross sampler in comparatively deep water. The trial was made on April 6, 1914, about 13 miles southwest of Farallon Light, at a depth of 815 fathoms. The instrument was lowered twice, a bottom sample being taken in each case. The longer of these was nearly 3 feet (86 em.) long, the other being about 6 inches shorter. III. DIMENSIONS, AREA, AND VOLUME OF SAN FRANCISCO BAY Those unfamiliar with the general geographical features of San Francisco Bay will find these indicated in plate 1. This bay extends in a direction roughly parallel to the coast line, i.e., from north-by- west to south-by-east, and lies between latitude 37° 25’ and 38° 10’ N. At a point considerably nearer the northern than the southern end it communicates with the Pacific Ocean through a strait, the Golden Gate, which has a minimum width of less than one nautical mile. Exact figures respecting the linear dimensions and area of this bay are difficult to give, since the limits of an irregular body of water, surrounded by marshes and prolonged into estuaries, must necessarily be chosen rather arbitrarily. Throughout the present paper the name “‘San Francisco Bay’’ will be applied to the entire sheet of water, extending from the mouth of Sonoma Creek at the extreme northern end to the mouth of the so-called ‘‘Coyote River’’ at the extreme southern. We ean find no valid reason, either geographic or hydro- eraphie, for treating San Pablo Bay as an independent body of water. As thus defined, San Francisco Bay has a length of about 45 nautical miles, or 52 statute miles (83 kilometers), measured along a straight line between the points above mentioned. By water the dis- tance between these points would, of course, be considerably greater 20 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 than this. The maximum width of the bay is rather more than 10 nautical miles (16 kilometers). As regards area, the figures employed in the present report were obtained by dissecting Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5530 and carefully weighing the amount of paper covered by the bay as a whole, as well as by the various regions which it was desired to treat separately. The weight of a unit area was determined from that of a large rectangle, occupying a given number of degrees of latitude and longitude.® Two separate charts were used for these determina- tions, and the mean of the two sets of figures were employed. Carquinez Strait and Suisun Bay were naturally omitted from the area computed, this last being regarded as terminating at a line drawn from Mare Island Light to Selby. At its lower end the bay was considered as extending to the level of Beacon No. 11, at the mouth of ““Coyote River.’’ The Golden Gate was included, as far out as a line drawn from Point Bonita to Mile Rock, this being the limit recognized by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. The areas covered by the various islands were, of course, deducted from the total, while salt marshes and estuaries were likewise excluded. The following figures are the outcome of these determinations. The miles here intended are statute miles (1 square mile = 2.59 square kilometers ). TABLE 1 1.

A third chart, which was treated somewhat less carefully, gave an area of about 397 square miles. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 21 According to other estimates, the total area of San Francisco Bay is somewhat greater than is here stated. Thus Professor George Dav- idson, according to some manuscript notes, placed at our disposal by Professor Holway, calculated this as 435 square miles, while McAdie (1913) gives 420 square miles. These differences are probably due to the inclusion in the other estimates of salt marshes or estuaries which have been excluded in our computations. Tt is evident that, throughout the greater part of its extent, San Francisco Bay is a very shallow body of water. Seventy per cent of its area is less than three fathoms (5.5 meters) deep, while more than 80 per cent is less than five fathoms (9 meters) deep. In ex- tensive regions within the upper and lower sections of the bay navi- gable water is confined to a comparatively narrow central channel, Considerable depths occur, however, in the middle section of the bay, nearest to the Golden Gate. Thus depths of from 25 to 30 fath- oms are reached between Angel and Aleatraz islands, while 36 fathoms (66 meters) are recorded at either end of Raccoon Strait, and 63 fathoms (115 meters) in the narrower part of the Golden Gate. The great depth of these straits is plainly due to the scouring action of the tidal currents. Outside the Golden Gate the water rapidly be- comes shallow again, soundings of only five fathoms being encoun- tered at a distance of about five miles off shore. Here we find an elongated curved shoal, known as ‘‘The Bar,’’ surrounding the outer entrance to the Golden Gate, throughout an are of about 270°. The mean depth of San Francisco Bay at mean low tide has been computed according to the following method: It has been seen above that the area comprised between the three-fathom line and the zone exposed at low tide is 226.0 square miles. Since the depth throughout this area may be supposed to be graduated fairly uniformly from 0 to 3 fathoms, a mean depth of 114 fathoms (= 9 feet) may be fairly assumed. There are, as has been shown, 119.4 square miles of water having a depth greater than three fathoms. In order to determine the mean depth of these portions of the bay, they were divided on the chart (C. and G. S. chart No. 5530) into small rectangles of an arbitrary size.” The mean of the published soundings within each rectangle was obtained, and then the average of these various averages was 7 These rectangles, 204 in number, covered 1 minute of latitude, and were 1 em. in width. Partial (marginal) rectangles were included in the compu- tations, provided that over half of their area was occupied by water more than three fathoms deep. 22 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 found. As thus computed, the mean depth of the bay, beyond the three-fathom line, was 8.10 fathoms, or 48.6 feet at low tide. From this average and that for the shoal water zone, the mean for the entire bay may readily be computed. This is found to be 22.7 feet (6.9 meters) .§ It is of interest to determine, if only approximately, the volume of water in San Francisco Bay. As just shown, 226 square miles (= 144,640 acres) have a mean depth of 9 feet at low tide. This gives us 1,301,760 acre-feet as the volume of water in this shallower zone. The deeper portions of the bay comprise 119.4 square miles (= 76,416 acres), having a mean depth of 48.6 feet. These deeper portions thus contain 3,713,818 acre-feet. The total volume of the bay at mean low tide is, according to this computation, 5,015,578 aecre- feet (6,187,000,000 cubic meters). The amount of water present at high tide is greater than this by 1,077,568,° i.e., there are 6,093,146 acre-feet (7,516,000,000 cubic meters) of water present at mean high tide. For certain purposes which will be discussed later, the bay as a whole has been divided into four quite unequal segments. The first of these includes San Pablo Bay, which is bounded below by a line passing from Point San Pablo to Point San Pedro. The second division extends from the latter line to one drawn from Bluff Point (Raecoon Strait) to Point Richmond. The third division extends from the preceding to a line through the Ferry Building and Goat Island Light. Finally, the fourth division extends from the latter line to the lower end of the bay. The mean depths of these divisions are as follows: 1. 7.4 fathoms 2. 8.7 fathoms 3. 14.8 fathoms 4. 7.8 fathoms The percentages of water by volume, at low tide, are as follows: . 17 per cent . 10 per cent . 36 per cent . 37 per cent HR oo DO 8 This system is obviously a more exact one than that of taking a simple average of all recorded soundings for the bay. Since these soundings are much more closely grouped in the deeper parts of the bay than in the shoaler ones, the resulting figure would undoubtedly be too high. 2 Derived as follows: There are 221,056 acres of water in the bay below the low-tide line. The mean tidal range being 4.52 feet, we have, for this area, a mean addition of 999,173 acre feet. There are, between high and low water mark, 34,688 acres. Here we may assume a mean depth, at high tide, of 2.26 feet, and thus a volume of 78,395 acre feet. The sum is 1,077,568 acre feet. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay Di The first of the foregoing segments is that referred to as the ““apper’” in the list of dredging stations (see Appendix I) ; the second and third together form the division referred to as the ‘‘middle’’ one; while the fourth is there referred to as the ‘‘lower’’ one. The second, third, and fourth segments form ‘‘San Francisco Bay’’ in the nar- rower sense in which the term is frequently used. ? No streams of any considerable size discharge into San Francisco Bay, except near its upper end (San Pablo Bay), where the combined waters of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers enter through Carquinez Strait. Many of the numerous estuaries receive the drain- age of small creeks, which are, for the most part, dry or nearly so, throughout the long summer period. The extent of the discharge of fresh water into San Francisco Bay will be discussed at another point. IV. TIDAL RANGE AND CURRENT VELOCITY The vertical range of the tides at twenty-eight points within San Francisco Bay (ineluding San Pablo Bay) is given in the ‘‘Tide Tables’’ of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. The mean range for the mean tides, at all of these stations, is 4.49 feet (1.37 meters). These stations are not, however, uniformly distributed throughout the bay, an undue proportion of them being located in the more central region, near the large cities. Nine of these stations have therefore been selected, at approximately equal distances from one another, as representative of the tidal range in the bay as a whole. The figures are presented herewith: TABLE 2 RANGE OF TIDE, IN FEET, AT NINE PoINTS IN SAN FRANCISCO Bay (Figures from Tide Tables of U. S.

This range varies from 3.49 feet (mean of the neap tides) to 5.46 feet (mean of the spring tides). These figures are based upon the semi- daily range, i.e., the difference of level between succeeding high and low tides. The spring ranges represent the greatest semidaily ranges for the month, the neap ranges the least semi-daily ranges for the month. The figures above given are, however, averages, based upon numer- ous measurements. For a given station, the actual difference between the greatest and the smallest tide occurring in the course of a year would be very much greater than this table would indicate. Thus at Fort Point, in the Golden Gate, ranges as low as 0.4 foot and as high as 7.8 feet occur. Furthermore, it must be borne in mind that these are predicted rather than observed ranges, and that they take no account of temporary conditions, such as the state of the wind or the rate of discharge of the rivers. Thus the actual extremes may be even greater than those just given. A computation, based upon twenty-four entire days, taken at equal intervals, throughout the year 1912,?° gives us the mean length of the period between low and high water as 6 hours 19 minutes, and the mean length of the interval between high and low water as 6 hours 7 minutes. It must be stated, however, that on any given day no such approximate equality is commonly maintained between the period of rising and of falling tide. Either phase may be in excess. Indeed, one phase may last more than twice as long as the other. These periods must not be confused with the periods of the ‘‘flood’’ and ‘‘ebb’’ currents, respectively. As is well known, the time of high or of low water may not correspond at all to the time at which the direction of the tidal current is reversed. We read in the United States **Coast Pilot’’? (1909) that ‘‘the ebb current runs out much longer than the flood runs in through the entrance to San Francisco Bay’’ (p. 74). It has already been shown that during the mean ebb tide about 1,077,600 acre-feet of water pass out of San Francisco Bay, or about 17.7 per cent of the volume present at the time of high water.*t This 10 This computation is based upon the figures given in the ‘‘Tide Tables.’’ The twenty-four hour period commencing with the first change of tide on the first and fifteenth day of each month was taken. 11JIn this computation it has been assumed that the various parts of the bay reach high water mark simultaneously. This is not quite true, since high tide 1914} Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 25 figure may seem surprisingly large in view of the slight width of the communication between the bay and the ocean. But it is an inevitable deduction from the known facts regarding the area of the bay and the range of the tide. Moreover, a rough computation of the sectional area of the stream passing through the Golden Gate shows us that no very swift currents need be assumed in order to account for the dis- charge of this vast volume of water. Assuming the width of the narrowest part of this strait to be one statute mile (1.6 kilometers), and the mean depth along this line to be 168 feet (51.24 meters), we have a sectional area of 887,040 square feet, or about 20 acres (8.1 hectares). To allow of the passage of 1,077,600 acre-feet (one and one-third billion cubie meters) of water within a period of six hours, we need only assume a mean sectional velocity, during this period, of 1.5 nautical miles (2.7 kilometers) per hour. Now we are told in the ‘‘Coast Pilot’’ that ‘‘in the Golden Gate on the ebb during spring tide a maximum velocity of 6 to 7 miles per hour has been observed.’’? These last, of course, are maxi- mum figures, not average ones, and, furthermore, they are based on surface measurements, and do not represent the mean sectional velocity, which would be considerably less. No measurements of current velocity were made in the Golden Gate itself during the present survey. It may be worth while, however, to give the results of two series of observations, each extending through- out approximately one complete tidal cycle (about twelve hours), which were made at no great distance within the Golden Gate, and directly in the path of a strong current. At the points chosen, the stream was considerably wider than in the Golden Gate, but the depth was much less. Hence the current velocity was perhaps not much reduced. On the first of these occasions (station 5128, see Table 10 and text figs. F and R), the mean current velocity indicated during the flood period was 1.66 knots (nautical miles) per hour, the maximum rate being 2.63. During the ebb period, the mean velocity obtained was 1.51 knots, the maximum being 2.23. It will be shown shortly that the ebb currents are, on the average, swifter than the flood currents. The exceptional condition here found resulted doubtless from the relative extent of the rise and fall during this particular period. During the first flood phase for the day, according to the ‘‘Tide Tables,’’ the water rose 4.1 feet at Fort Point, while it fell only 2.5 feet during the succeeding ebb. occurs at Redwood City 56 minutes later than at San Francisco, and at Mare Island 1%4 hours later than at San Francisco. 26 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 On the second of these occasions (station 5329), the mean flood current (first flood of day) was 1.09 knots per hour, the mean ebb current being 0.96 knot. Here, again, the ebb current was of lower average velocity, and for the same reason. The flood stream brought a rise of 5.6 feet, the ebb a fall of only 1.3 feet. It may be worth while here to refer to a series of tidal observations made in the strait connecting San Pablo Bay with the main body of San Francisco Bay (station 5330). Here, on July 21, 1913, the flood current had a mean velocity of 1.28 knots. The observations were not continued through the ebb period. The observations upon current velocity, during the present survey, were for the most part incidental to the study of other problems. Originally, they were made for the purpose of determining the stage of the tidal flow, in its relations to the temperature and salinity ob- servations and to the occurrence of plankton. The value of these figures is consequently somewhat limited. The current-meter readings were made only during the second, fourth, and fifth of the bimonthly periods, and a part of the sixth. They do not, therefore, cover the entire year. Again, our mode of procedure was not calculated to determine the mean rate of flow at the various stations. As stated above (p. 12), operations on any given date were commenced shortly after the turn of the tide, and the stations of each section of the bay were worked in a definite order. Thus stations at the beginning of the series would show an (appar- ently) lower current velocity than those which were reached later in the tidal eyele. As has already been stated, the meter was suspended from one of the gangways, at a distance of only four or five feet from the ship’s side, so that unless the vessel were exactly lined up with the current the rate of flow past the instrument must have been inter- fered with somewhat. Nevertheless, the following figures seem worth presenting, since they are based on 142 observations which were probably as accurate as the methods would permit. There are here included only the figures derived from the regular stations during the second, fourth, and fifth periods. The average of the readings for the ebb current was 1.68 knots (3.12 kilometers) per hour, the maximum figure (at station 5082) being 3.03 knots. The average of all the flood readings was 1.19 knots (2.21 kilometers), the maximum (at station 5112) being 2.90. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 27 As regards seasonal variations, the following figures are offered : 2nd period 4th period 5th period (April—May ) (October) (Nov.—Dec.) 10} 0) Npeeceerr ee sete 1.72 1.62 1.61 I foyey ll eee 1.27 1.33 0.93 The differences here shown may have been due either to differences in the range of the tide during the period of observation, or to dif- ferences in the amount of fresh water coming from the rivers. The distinctly higher averages for the ebb current are probably due to the latter influence. In the ‘‘Coast Pilot,’ p. 74, we read: ‘‘At periods of great freshets in the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers there have been instances of very slight surface current, or none at all, on the small flood in the Golden Gate.’’ The rate of the tidal current in a given locality may have an important effect upon the occurrence of various sedentary organ- isms. The powerful streams passing through Raccoon Strait and the Golden Gate prevent the accumulation of mud or fine sand, and thus are responsible for the stony or gravelly bottoms which prevail there. On the other hand, fixed or slow-moving organisms are largely de- pendent for their food upon particles which are passively brought to them in the tidal currents. It is perhaps worth while to devote a few moments to computing the mean rate of tidal flow over the bottom of San Franciseo Bay as a whole. The mean current velocity, as derived from the above discussed observations at the regular stations, was about 1.4 knot per hour. It must be recalled, however, that the meter was placed but a few feet below the surface. This is about the level at which the maximum rate of flow is found. As the bottom is approached the effect of friction increases, until just above the bottom the rate must be very materially reduced. Now it is evidently this reduced rate of flow at the bottom which conditions the supply of food and oxygen for the various organ- isms of the benthos. It must also be borne in mind that our current readings in the northern and southern sections of the bay were all made in the navi- gable waters of the central channels. where the currents were naturally swifter than in the marginal shoal regions. Another circumstance which has doubtless contributed toward giving us too high a mean figure for the current velocity throughout the bay is the fact that no readings were taken during the period of slack water. The meter was used only during times of visible flow. 28 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 Allowing for all of these circumstances, we may make an estimate (which has no claim to exactness), and say that the mean rate of water flow for all phases of the tide, over the entire bottom of San Francisco Bay, is between two-thirds and three-quarters of a knot per hour. As regards the surface and intermediate layers, the rate is doubtless somewhat higher than this, perhaps reaching a mean rate of one knot per hour. V. TEMPERATURE Tables 3 to 8 give the water temperatures recorded for each station of the regular series at each of the six bimonthly periods during which our observations were made. The instruments used all bore the Fahr- enheit scale, but the centigrade equivalents have likewise been included in the tables. The air temperatures, as already stated, were not recorded by the scientific staff, but they have been supplied from the ship’s log-book. It can hardly be doubted that the thermometers used for this purpose were at times considerably influenced by the heat from the furnaces, so that no great importance can be attributed to these figures. More- over, those air temperatures only have been included in the tables which were recorded at approximately the same time as the water temperatures. Thus the figures are for the daytime only. They do not fairly represent the mean condition for the twenty-four hours, but are considerably higher than this. For water temperatures, the diurnal variations are of course comparatively slight, and they may be left out of consideration in our discussions. The ‘‘surface’’ figure for a given station at a given period is the mean of the surface figure recorded during the flood-tide observations and that recorded during the ebb-tide observations. Similarly, the ““bottom’’ figure is the mean of the ebb and flood figures for the bottom. The ‘‘flood’’ figure for each station is the mean of the surface and bottom figures for the flood tide, the ‘‘ebb’’ figure being the mean of the surface and bottom figures for the ebb tide. The mean figure for each station for a given period is the mean of the surface and bottom means for that station and period. The mean of the flood and ebb figures would commonly have given the same result, though exceptions would have occurred, owing to the occasional omission of a record at one or the other phase of the tide.

A-K) which will next be considered. In plate 3 the mean annual temperature, based upon the six periods of observation, is indicated for each station. Since the surface and bottom temperatures were taken in each ease, and the stations were visited both at flood and ebb tide, each station mean is normally based upon twenty-four observations. It will be seen that the highest mean temperatures for the year were found at the southernmost group of stations, the next highest temperatures being in San Pablo Bay. The lowest mean temperatures for the year are in the vicinity of the Golden Gate. In figure A, the same data are represented in the form of a curve. The stations are arranged along the horizontal axis, at distances pro- portionate to their relative positions in the bay, while the temperatures are indicated on the vertical axis. The differences shown by the last two charts are obviously not creat, all of the figures lying between 1220 and 13°28 C (53°6 and 5629 F). From the biological standpoint, moreover, it is likely that these annual temperature averages have little significance. Important differences in the temperature conditions of different parts of the bay are largely effaced in the process of averaging, as will appear from a glance at the next chart (fig. B) showing a separate curve for each of the bimonthly periods. In the curve for the first period of our observations (February 13 to 27, 1912) it will be seen that the bay was at a strikingly uniform temperature level throughout its entire length. The extremes are 11°76 C off San Francisco and 12°56 C off Angel Island, the total range being only 0°8 C. Passing to the next period (April 23 to May 6), local temperature differences begin to manifest themselves. At each end of the bay the water is now appreciably warmer than in the neighborhood of the [ Vou. 14 ons in Zoology hi va y of California Publ versita ni U 38 ‘apBISIJUAD SedISep ut sinjereduie} sjuasorder o[eos [worJAaA OY, ‘“Woroerrp Fo oarjoodsort ‘Woy udedjoq saoueySIp [eNZoe oY} 07 oJeuOTZ10dord s[BALozUL 4B ‘sIXB [B}UOZTLOY ay} Suope pasuvsse oie suorzeys oy, ‘Solsas vpnSer ey} Fo suorzeys orydvasorpAy oy} FO Yous ye ainjesodma, [enuue uBayy “Vy “Shy ia) L@) o S £ S & 2 8 2 2 5S un b (a) fe = 2 < w a iS a = p 8 = oOo A i el NS PN tS a ba a a > Soo aemeusr cs ee sae a Suess 8 a he = os eS fh ote es tes 8 = x are ey SF a) Eh OS = rr) a 39 Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 1914] ol: iste Period IM (Wuly 22-31 i912) D 10: TES Period IY (Oct. 7-12, 1912) 16 Ist jag Period Il (Apr2s-Moy 6.1919 13k Period I Fab.i3- if i tile ~Period W(Nov. 25-Dec:s. 1912) lol al 6 VW 7c Perlod Wi (VUani3-26,913) ee iS : z Fa Fae SS 3 8 B B aap tat 3 23 § 3 gene eae 3 &§& &§ ss 3 3 os Sc esie es 2 E 2 wD to] N Oo § i— 5 3 S & Fig. B.

While the water at the station nearest the latter (No. 4967) has actually become slightly cooler, that at the northern end of the series (No. 4975) has risen 1°89 C, while that at the southern end (No. 5001) has risen 2°15 C. In the third period (July 22 to 31) the local differentiation has greatly increased, the total temperature range throughout the bay being over 5° C. As before. the coldest water lies in the vicinity of the Golden Gate, although this has risen nearly 2° C sinee the last observations. From the Golden Gate the temperature rises fairly uniformly toward the upper and lower ends of the bay, where approxi- mately the same temperatures are found. In the fourth period (October 7 to 12) a general fall of temper- ature has become evident, though the ends of the bay have cooled more rapidly than the central region near the Golden Gate. The latter waters remain, however, cooler than those farther removed from the ocean, the greatest difference now amounting to 3°8 C. In the fifth period (November 25 to December 5) we have for the second time a high degree of uniformity throughout the waters of the bay, the greatest difference recorded being 1°18 C. Finally, in the sixth period of our observations (January 13 to 28, 1913), we behold an inversion of the summer temperature conditions. The highest temperatures are found in the central region of the bay, adjacent to the ocean, a downward gradient being manifest toward either end. The differences are not as great, however, as at the warm- est period of the year, the extremes being 6°04 and 9208 C. It is to be noted, also, that the water is decidedly colder in the northern than in the southern end of the bay. This is doubtless due to the lower temperature of the water from the rivers, coming as it does from regions where colder winter conditions prevail than in the coastal belt. It has thus been found that, while the various parts of the bay differ but slightly in their mean annual temperatures, they may differ very considerably in the total range of temperature which they under- go in the course of the annual cycle. The annual range for each station of our series is depicted in figure C. The ordinates in this chart represent not absolute figures, but the difference between the lowest and highest annual temperature for each station. The tem- peratures here considered are not the individual thermometer read- ings, but the means of the four readings recorded for each period, ie., those represented in the columns headed “‘mean of surface and bottom’’ in Tables 3 to 8. 4] rancisco Bay 7 sin San k ion ondit Y Physical C Sumner, et al. 1914] g s 5 e Boy FS be ge g g g gz z CREE YEE t= Ss ‘= nH Oo Ce} - N ho} ee Oo a 3 o [3] oO oO Fig. C.

From this central region of the bay toward either end the magni- tude of the annual temperature range increases fairly rapidly. It is greatest at the mouth of the rivers (Carquinez Strait), where an annual range of 12°65 C wes found. At the southernmost station of the series (No. 5001) the range was found to be about 1.5 degrees less than this (11°18 C). Thus far, the charts have represented the regional distribution of temperatures, the stations being arranged serially along the horizontal axis. In the next two charts (figs. D and E), together with some others which will follow, the mean conditions for the bay as a whole are represented, the periods of work being arranged along the hori- zontal axis. Feb. Mar. Apr. May Jun. Jul Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. dan, Fig. D. Annual temperature curves for entire bay. The continuous line is based on surface figures, the broken line on bottom ones. Figure D represents the temperature changes undergone in the course of an annual cycle, so far as may be judged from the single year covered by our principal series of observations (February, 1912, to January, 1913). In this chart the surface and bottom conditions have been depicted separately. The period of highest temperature was in July, when a mean temperature (mean of surface and bottom) of 16°68 C was obtained. The period of lowest temperature fell in January, when the mean figure was 8°33 C. There was thus an annual range, for the bay as a whole, of 8°35 C. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 43 It is quite probable that these figures do not represent at all ex- actly the average annual temperature cycle. In order to construct eurves which would be really typical of the local temperature con- ditions, it would be necessary to have data covering a considerable number of years. In particular, the temperatures recorded during January, 1913, are believed to be abnormally low, since the obser- vations were made shortly after an exceptionally severe spell of cold weather. It must likewise be borne in mind that we are dealing with only six periods of observation, separated by intervals of approximately two months. The six points which are connected by any one of these curves represent the mean temperatures for the respective periods of observation, referred to the mean dates of these periods. It is hardly probable that the time of highest water temperature for the year fell exactly on July 26, nor that of lowest water temperature on January 20. Indeed, the maximum and minimum points for this year may have been several weeks removed from the dates shown on our charts. The relations of surface and bottom temperatures during the different seasons are of interest. For the first of our periods (Feb- ruary 13-27, 1912) the two are practically identical (12°23 and 12°21 C). During the next three periods of observation the mean surface temperature is higher, the difference being greatest in July, when the surface water was warmer, on the average, by 0°7 C. At the fifth period of our observations (November 25—December 5), an approximate equality is again reached, while at the sixth period (January 13-28) the relation is reversed, the bottom water being warmer by 0°22 C. The higher surface temperatures during the summer months are doubtless due to the absorption of solar heat by the superficial strata of the water, the heat rays failing, in large part, to reach the bottom. The lower specific gravity of this warm surface water retards its mixture with the layers beneath. In winter, when the radiation of heat from the water exceeds the absorption of solar rays, it is natural that the superficial strata should be cooled more rapidly than the underlying ones. But in this case the surface cooling would give rise to convection currents, so that the difference between surface and bottom temperatures would not be as creat as during the summer months. These differences between surface and bottom temperatures are 44 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 perhaps also partially explainable by the influence of the overlying air. The latter, during the summer months, commonly has a consid- erably higher temperature than that of the water, while in winter this condition is reversed, the water being warmer than the air. Feb. Mor. Apr. May Jun. Jul Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. Jan. Fig. E. Annual temperature curves for entire bay. The continuous line is based on flood figures, the broken line on ebb ones. Figure E, like the preceding one, represents the annual temper- ature cycle, but in the present case the two curves show the conditions during the flood and ebb tides respectively. It will be noted that the flood figures, for all but one period, indicate higher temperatures than do the ebb figures, and that in the single exceptional case the differ- ence is insignificant. For the year as a whole, the mean of the flood figures is nearly 0°5 C higher than for the ebb figures (Table 9). Moreover, this relation is found to hold for each of the stations with- out exception, and to hold for the surface water as well as for the bottom water. On first thought it would seem paradoxical that the water should have a higher temperature during the flood tide than during the ebb. The former water might be supposed to come more directly from the ocean than the latter, and the ocean, throughout most of the year, has been shown to have a lower temperature than the bay. The ease is exactly paraliel to that which will be discussed in the chapter on salin- ity (pp. 70-72), and the cause in the two cases is probably the same. The comparison which our figures afford is not exactly a comparison between the flood and the ebb tide as a whole, but a comparison be- tween the early flood and the early ebb. As was stated above, the experiment was twice made of anchoring the ship in the course of the main current which passes through the 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 45 Golden Gate, and making hourly observations throughout an entire tidal eyele. In figure F, representing the observations of May 14, 1912, it will be seen that the temperature of the surface water com- menced to rise at about the change from flood to ebb tide, until it 5 6 7am 6 9 em Ipm 2 3 4 Fig. F.

For the bottom water this tendency was much less regular, though the mean figure for the ebb was 0°18 C higher than the flood. Table 10 is a complete record of these observations.

The conditions here repre- sented are difficult to interpret. There is to be distinguished a gen- eral, though quite irregular, fall of temperature for both surface and bottom water during the flood phase; while during the ebb there is a gradual rise for the bottom water along with a considerable fall for the surface. The mean figures for the respective phases of the tide are flood—surface 14°56, bottom 14°13; ebb—surface 14°08, bottom 13°19. It is interesting that the mean of all these figures is 13299 C, while that for station 4967 (near this point) for the July period of the preceding year was 14°00 C. The conditions during a single tidal cycle are so complicated that a simple comparison between the temperatures or salinities recorded for any two consecutive phases of the tide is obviously unsafe. This is particularly true in such a ease as that last referred to, in which the change of level during the flood period was 5.6 feet, while during the sueceeding ebb period it was only 1.3 feet. Jon. Apr May = Jun Aug Sept Oct Nov. Dec Jon. Fig. G. Variations in the regional range of temperature during an annual eyele. The ordinates represent the differences between the highest and lowest temperatures occurring simultaneously in the bay at any given time of the year. Figure G indicates the regional range of temperature throughout the annual eyele. The ordinates in this chart represent the differences between the highest and lowest temperatures occurring simultaneously in the bay at any given time of the year. As in figures D and E, the abscissas represent time intervals. The temperature range will be seen to be greatest during the July period, when it was about 5° C, and least in the February period, when it was 0°8 C. In reality, we may distinguish in our curve two maxima (third and sixth periods) and two minima (first and fifth 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 47 periods). Roughly speaking, we have one season when the bay is warmer than the ocean (summer), another when the bay is cooler than the ocean (winter), and two seasons when the two are at about equal temperatures (spring and fall). That these seasons do not correspond with any exactness to the ones generally known by these names is obvious. Certain supplementary observations, already referred to, were made on July 18 to 23, 1913. Some of these afford an interesting basis of comparison between the summer conditions of two different years. Others were made for the purpose of determining the temperature and salinity conditions in the extensive shoal areas which are inac- cessible to the ‘‘ Albatross’’. Six of the stations of the regular hydrographic series were visited at ebb and flood tide. Of these there was one in each of the upper sections of the bay, and three in section 4 (see p. 22). In no ease did the mean recorded temperature for one of these stations differ from that of the corresponding period of the preceding year by as much as 1° ©. The mean difference was 0°35, the 1913 figures being, on the average, higher. It was thought that the four regular stations in section 3 might not be wholly representative of the conditions throughout that division, since they were confined to its northern half. Accordingly, two new stations were added, one near the Presidio Shoal, the other in the neighborhood of Goat Island. Along with these may be included station 5329, near Yellow Bluff (just within the Golden Gate). The mean temperature at these three points, at ebb and flood tide, was 15°12 C. That for this section of the bay during the same month of the preceding year was 15°02 C. There is thus a pretty close agreement between the results of the two years’ observations, in eases where the same or similar localities are compared. As regards the shoal water areas, which are not acces- sible to the ‘‘ Albatross’’, no comparisons between the two years are possible, since we have only the records for July, 1913. It is to be noted, however, that the temperatures here found were considerably higher than those recorded for the deeper waters of the same sections. Thus the temperatures at five launch stations, arranged along a line completely across San Pablo Bay, and having a mean depth of less than two fathoms, ranged from 17°3 to 20°4 C, the mean being 18°55 C. In comparison with this, we have 16°52 as the average of the twenty figures obtained on the same day (July 21) at station 48 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 H-5330 (== H-4981), at the lower end of San Pablo Bay, in the main channel. If we confine the temperatures for the latter station to the actual hours covered by the shoal-water observations, this figure be- comes 16°07 C. In the southern part of the bay a similar line of three stations, across the shoal area, east of the main channel, at a mean depth of two fathoms, gave a mean iemperature of 20°56 C In comparison “with this we have 18°48 C, which was the mean figure on the same day (July 23) for three ‘‘ Albatross’’ stations in the deeper waters of this section. Thus the figures for the summer temperatures of the upper and lower regions of the bay, as expressed in the preceding tables, are doubtless somewhat too low, since they are based exclusively upon the conditions in the deeper, somewhat cooler waters to which the regular hydrographic stations were confined. Conversely, it is probable that the winter temperatures of these deeper waters were somewhat higher than those of the great expanses of shoal water. It seems worth while to introduce here, during the passage of this paper through the press, the results of some temperature determina- tions made on March 5 and 6, 1914. Nine stations were chosen, cor- responding to certain of the primary hydrographic stations in each of the regions of the bay. Since two of these stations were visited twice, and since surface and bottom readings were obtained in all cases, the total number of figures is 22. The mean temperature thus obtained was 12°39 C. That found at the same stations and same phases of the tide, from February 13 to 27, 1912, was 112995 C. The agreement is certainly close. The higher figure for 1914 is perhaps to be accounted for by the fact that the observations for this year were made about two weeks later. Through the courtesy of the Morgan Oyster Company, we are able to present temperature records taken throughout six months of the year 1913 at their Millbrae and Dumbarton beds. The former bed is located between Point San Bruno and Point San Mateo, the latter being near the extreme southern end of the bay. The figures are pre- sented in Table 11. The temperatures given for April, May, and June are each based upon four readings, made twice per month at both high and low water. The other figures are based upon two readings only, both on the same day. The temperatures given are for the surface. These thermometer readings, we learn, were not made while the bulb of the instrument was immersed, but after the removal of the 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 49 latter from the water. It is likely, therefore, that they are not very exact. We have, however, tested the thermometers used and corrected the figures accordingly.

The mean of Townsend’s figures for the period from July 12 to September 27 is 69°8 F, the extremes being 58° and 74°. For the same three months of the later year the mean of our figures for the Dumbarton beds is 68°3 F, the extremes recorded being 65° and 71°. The temperature relations between the air and the water in the neighborhood of San Francisco deserve some attention. In the absence of disturbing factors, the relations between air and water temperature on an island, or along the coast of a continent, are comparatively simple in our latitudes. The mean annual temperatures for the two are ap- proximately the same, though a considerably greater range is recorded for the air than for the water. In the summer the air temperature is higher than that of the water, in the winter the converse is the case, while at two points, in the spring and in the fall, the two curves cross one another. As an illustrative case, in which these conditions are realized, the reader is referred to the Bulletin of the Bureau of Fish- eries for 1911, chart 219. In San Francisco Bay these simple relations are disturbed by two special factors, which work in opposition to one another. (1) Considerable quantities of fresh water are continually dis- charged into the bay by the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. This water comes immediately from the Great Valley region of California, 50 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 where it attains much higher temperatures in summer and much lower ones in winter than would waters confined to the more temperate coastal belt. Our studies of salinity for one complete annual cycle show that on the average about nineteen per cent of the total volume of water which was contained in the bay at any given time during the period had been derived from these rivers. (2) The ocean waters of this portion of the Pacifie Coast, in conse- quence of hydrographic conditions which eannot here be discussed, undergo a comparatively slight annual temperature range (see Hol- way, 1905, Thorade, 1909, and McEwen, 1912). According to Thorade, that part of the ocean which adjoins San Francisco Bay lies between the isotherms of 11° and 12° C in February and March, when the water is coolest, and between the isotherms of 14° and 15° C in October, when it is warmest. Causes peculiar to the western coasts of certain conti- nents prevent these waters from attaining the summer temperatures which are proper to their latitude. Sinee, as has been shown above, about one-sixth of the entire contents of the bay is discharged during the average ebb tide, to be replaced by water from outside during the ensuing flood, it is inevitable that the local ocean temperature should exert a marked influence upon that of San Francisco Bay. A comparison is none the less interesting between the water temper- ature of San Francisco Bay and the air temperature of points in the vicinity. For the twelve months commencing February 1, 1912, the mean air temperatures of San Francisco and Berkeley, on opposite sides of the bay, were 13°44 C and 13°62 C, respectively, according to United States Weather Bureau records. The mean of these two figures is 13953 C. The mean temperature of the bay during this period was 12°91 C, or 0°62 lower than that for the air. The curves in figure H permit of a comparison between air and water temperatures throughout the year. The curve for water tem- perature is similar to those already shown in figures D and E, being in the present case based upon the mean of surface and bottom figures. The air temperatures for the month immediately preceding our earliest hydrographie observations have here been included. In comparing these curves it must be borne in mind that that for the water is based upon observations at intervals of two months, while those for the air are based upon monthly means. It will be seen that during the colder months the curves for the air lie below those for the water, the converse being true, on the whole, during the warmer season. These conditions are better shown 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 51 in the Berkeley curve than in that for San Francisco, the climate of the latter city being more largely influenced by proximity to the ocean than that of the former. Few observations were made by us upon the ocean temperature, outside of the Golden Gate. We have, however, figures from ten such stations.

The mean surface temperature for these stations was 11°54 C (52°78 F), the extremes being 11°04 and 12°16. The mean bottom temper- ature, for five of these stations, was found to be 10°01, though this figure is not regarded as wholly reliable (see p. 151). On November 4, at stations H—5226 and 5227 (D-5806, 5807), not far outside of the Golden Gate, the mean surface temperature was 12°21 C (53°98 F), the mean bottom temperature being 11746 C (52°63 EB). The figure given by Thorade (1909) for the mean surface tempera- ture of the Pacifie Ocean, off San Francisco, in October, is 14°6 C, that for November being 13°28 C. Our figures are thus considerably lower than Thorade’s, a fact which is perhaps to be accounted for by the nearness of our stations to the coast line, in comparison with 52 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 the breadth of the area comprehended by the latter writer. (Unfor- tunately, we do not know the extent of the area designated by Thorade as ‘‘vor San Francisco’’). This would be in accordance with conditions known to occur elsewhere along the California coast, where the inshore waters are colder than those found at considerable distances from land.

The con- tinuous line is based on the monthly means for the Pacific Ocean, near San Francisco, according to Thorade (1909). The dotted lines are based upon the monthly means for air temperature at San Francisco, one of these being plotted according to figures of Thorade, the other according to the records of United States Weather Bureau. In figure I, we have a curve representing the annual temperature eyele for the Pacific Ocean, ‘‘off San Francisco,’’ along with two curves representing the air temperature in that city. The curve ” for ocean temperature and one of those for air temperature are based upon a diagram of Thorade’st® (1909), the other curve for air temperature being based upon the records of the San Francisco station of the United States Weather Bureau for the past forty years. The mean ocean temperature for the year, according to Thorade’s figures, is 12°86 C (55°13 F). For the air temperature of the city, MeAdie (1913) gives 12°96 C (54°96 EF) as the most reliable mean." The water eurve of Thorade exhibits two annual maxima, one in June, the other in October, and he seems disposed to believe that 13 Thorade, 1909, p. 72.

We have thus a variety of figures to choose from. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 53 there are two corresponding maxima for air temperature. Since our own curve for San Francisco Bay is based upon bimonthly observa- tions, it is impossible to state exactly when the maximum temperature for the year occurred. Indeed, it is possible that we should ourselves have found two maxima if we had obtained records for every month of the year. “Jon Feb . Apr. May = Jun. Jul Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. Jan. Fig. J. Comparison of the annual temperature curve for San Francisco Bay (already given) and a curve for ocean temperature, which has been ren- dered comparable with the former by the omission of those months during which no observations were made by the present survey. If this diagram for ocean temperatures be rendered comparable with ours for the bay by omitting the months for which we have no observations, it will be found that only a single maximum is indicated (figure J). This, however, falls in October, instead of in July, as in the case of our observations. Other differences between these curves relate to the time of minimum temperature, and the consid- erably smaller annual temperature range shown by the ocean than by the bay. Curves for water and air temperatures in the Golden Gate (Fort Point) based upon ten years’ observations (1874 to 1883) were given by Davidson twenty-five years ago (see ‘‘Pacifie Coast Pilot,’’ 4th edition, 1889, pp. 228-230). The month of maximum water tempera- ture, according to Davidson, is September, the minimum falling in January. For the air there are two maxima, one in June, the other in September. The mean annual water temperature, based upon his figures, is 13°03 C (55°45 F), the annual range being 5°91 ©. For our station 4967, nearest to the Golden Gate, the mean annual tempera- ture was found to be 12°01 C, the annual range being 4°9 C. 54 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Von. 14 In figure K, we have compared the annual temperature curves for San Francisco Bay, and for the adjacent parts of the Pacific Ocean, with those for the waters of two points along the Atlantie Coast.

Comparison of annual water temperature curves for San Francisco Bay (based on findings of present survey), the neighboring ocean (figures of Thorade), Woods Hole (records of U. S. Bureau of Fisheries station) and Chesapeake Bay (records of light-house keepers, in files of U. S. Bureau of Fisheries). Let us consider first that for Chesapeake Bay. The figures upon which this curve is based are derived from unpublished observations made for the United States Fish Commission by lighthouse keepers at eight different points, which, with the exception of Baltimore, lay in the | O1 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay lower (southern) third of the bay. At each point the observations extended through a considerable number of years (six to fourteen), the latest being made in 1890. We have employed only surface figures in the construction of the curve here presented. At no point, however, was the difference between the surface and bottom readings worth considering. The mean latitude of these points in Chesapeake Bay is very nearly the same as that of San Francisco Bay. The mean annual water temperature for the former bay, computed from the records referred to, is 14°38 C (57°89 F), that for the latter bay being 12°91 C (55°23 F). The chief difference between the temperature conditions of these two bodies of water lies, however, in their respective annual ranges. In Chesapeake Bay this amounts to 22°12 C (39°82 F), while in San Francisco Bay it is not much more than a third (thirty- eight per cent) as great, being 8°35 C (15°03 F).° Thus the equable climate for which the California coast is famous is reflected in (we should rather say, is largely due to) the equable temperature of its coastal waters'®, though the direction of the prevailing winds is hke- wise an important factor. The resemblance between the Chesapeake Bay curve and that for Woods Hole is sufficiently striking. The latter is based upon the monthly means for a period of six years, as recorded at the Woods Hole station of the Bureau of Fisheries (see Sumner, Osburn, Cole, and Davis, 1913, p. 47). The vertical distance between the Woods Hole and Chesapeake Bay curves remains surprisingly constant throughout the year, representing, on the average, 3°82 C. The mean annual temperature of the surface water in Woods Hole Harbor is 10956 C (51°01 F), or more than 2° C lower than that of San Francisco Bay. The annual range, computed as for the other points, is 21°50 C (38°74 F).”” In some loealities of the California coastal region we behold the anomaly of familiar garden fruits and vegetables failing to ripen 15 These figures are based in each case upon the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean for the year. The actual range for any single year, i.e., the difference between the lowest and highest temperature reached, would, of course, be much greater than this. 16Of course, the annual range of the water temperature, outside of San Francisco Bay, is even less, being only 3°3 C. But it would not be fair to compare this with inclosed bodies of water, such as Chesapeake Bay and Vine- yard Sound. 17 Rathbun (1890, p. 458 and pl. LXX) has made a similar comparison be- tween water temperatures recorded at the Vineyard Sound Lightship and some which were recorded along the San Francisco water front. The relations be- tween the two sets of figures are in general harmony with those which we have indicated. 56 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 where palms and other tropical plants flourish. The ripening of the former is retarded by the low prevailing summer temperatures, while the perennial vegetative growth of the latter is rendered possible by the absence of winter frosts. In the same latitudes, on the opposite side of the continent, tomatoes and Indian corn ripen as a matter of course, while palms and agaves cannot be grown out of doors. It is more than possible that the distribution of many marine organisms is similarly conditioned. It would be surprising if the occurrence of low temperatures during the period of reproduction did not limit the northward distribution of various species along the California coast, despite the relatively high annual mean and the absence of really cold waters during the winter. It is hoped that information bearing upon this point will be brought to light by those who are investigating the biological collections made in the course of the present survey. One possible instance of high economie importance deserves men- tion at this point. It is well known locally that the eastern oyster reproduces only sporadically in San Francisco Bay (see Townsend, 1893), and it has been assumed that this is due, in part at least, to the comparatively low temperature of the water in summer. As we have shown above, however, and as was long ago pointed out by Townsend, there are shoal waters in the southern end of the bay where the summer temperature conditions are more nearly like those of similar points on the Atlantic Coast. Moreover the fact that in recent years even the spat which has been transplanted here from eastern waters has failed to mature satisfactorily, makes it seem probable that we must look to other causes besides temperature for the failure of the oyster to propagate in San Francisco Bay. We leave this problem, however, to those who are prepared to study it unremittingly in all its phases. VI. SALINITY The methods followed in obtaining and preserving the water samples for salinity determinations have already been deseribed (pp: 12; 13). The determinations were made in a laboratory on shore. The method employed was Mohr’s silver nitrate test, which indicated the percentage of chlorine in each sample. From this the salinity could 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay il be readily obtained by reference to Knudsen’s ‘‘ Hydrographic Tables’’ (1901). During the first year’s work, including all of the salinity tests upon which our tables (12 to 18) are based, decinormal silver solutions were used in the titrations and Schellbach’s burettes having a capacity of 25 ee. were employed for both silver and sea-water. The silver solutions were checked, from time to time, by comparison with deci- normal sodium ehloride solutions, which were prepared as accurately as possible. This was, of course, an inadequate method of verification, since errors were no less likely in the one set of solutions than the other. It would, however, have probably revealed the occurrence of any accidental inaccuracy in the preparation of the silver solution, or of any appreciable change in the coneentration of the latter. As will be narrated below, however, we have referred our results, or some of them, to another and more exact standard. The titrations were performed by Messrs. Schmitt and Johnston, their observations being occasionally checked by the senior author of this report. Each sample was commonly tested four times, twice by each of the persons first named. Whenever a discrepancy of a certain magnitude was found between their respective results, the test was repeated by both until the figures agreed with sufficient precision. In twenty-five cases selected at random from the first year’s titration work, there were fifteen cases of complete agreement, while the mean difference between the two observers was 0.32 per cent, 1.e., 382 ten-thousandths of the mean reading for the two. After we had completed the titration of the first vear’s series of water samples we received the standard outfit adopted by the Inter- national Council for the Exploration of the Sea, and it is intended that this shall henceforth be employed in the hydrographic work of the ‘* Albatross.”? It has been used for all of the titrations since February, 1913. The mean difference, in twenty random eases, be- tween the figures of our two observers, obtained by this method, was 0.14 per cent. A considerable number of tests have been made by us for the purpose of comparing the results obtained with the standard outfit and with the titration methods first employed by us. Samples of some of the silver and sodium chloride solutions which had been used for these earlier titrations were tested by reference to the ‘‘standard sea-water tions of some of the water specimens from our hydrographic stations 9 of the Central Laboratory. Likewise, por- 58 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 in San Francisco Bay, which had been saved for this purpose, were titrated with the ‘‘standard’”’ outfit and solutions. Finally, in August, 1913, seven of the recently taken water samples were titrated accord- ing to both the older and the newer methods. These comparisons indicate a mean difference of 2.3 per cent be- tween the results obtained by the two methods. The magnitude of this difference agrees fairly closely in the various cases, and is invariably of the same sign, the figures obtained by the ‘‘standard’’ method being smaller. Since the latter is probably more accurate than that earlier employed by us, we have corrected all of the first year’s figures by the amount of this mean difference, i.e., we have deducted 2.3 per cent of their value. (In reality, they were multiphed by 0.977). Dr. G. F. McEwen, of the Scripps Institution of the University of California, has been so good as to determine the specific gravity of eight of our samples from San Francisco Bay, by means of an appa- ratus of high precision. For seven of these samples, the mean difference between Dr. McEwen’s figures and ours (with the ““standard’’ titration outfit) was 0.7 per cent, our figures being the lower. In other words, our figures were, on the average, less than Dr. McEwen’s by seven-thousandths of the latter. In the eighth case, it is obvious that an error of some sort was made, for the recorded difference is far greater than could be accounted for by the difference of method. We are disposed to question whether the accuracy of the titration method of determining the salinity of sea-water has not been some- what overestimated. A considerable source of error is to be found in the reading of the burette scale, and an even greater one in determining the point at which the color change takes place in the solution. The mere fact that an observer can with practice learn to obtain almost identically the same figure upon repeating the test of a given sample, or even the fact that two experienced observers may obtain readings which differ by a very minute quantity, does not prove that their errors are infinitesimal. It may merely prove that their errors are equal. As a result of adopting uniform methods of procedure, our two observers obtained, after some months of practice, salinity figures which agreed with one another very closely. And yet it has been shown that throughout this phase of the work there was a nearly constant error of more than two per cent in their figures, standard’’ method to be absolutely accurate. We believe, none the less, that the titration method, even as em- ee assuming the 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 59 ployed by us, is sufficiently precise to meet the needs of our work in San Francisco Bay. Indeed, a higher degree of precision would searcely have added to the scientific value of the data presented. The problems have been quite different from those which are dealt with in much of the recent oceanographic work, where it has been important to distinguish between neighboring strata or currents which differ but slightly in salinity. In San Francisco Bay, on the other hand, very great differences of salinity were found in passing from one end of the bay to the other, or even on comparing samples taken at different times of the year. Any slight errors, due to defective methods, would thus be insignificant in comparison with actual differences among the water samples tested. In the compilation of tables 12 to 18, giving the results of our salinity determinations, the same procedure has been adopted as in the case of our temperature figures, and the reader is consequently referred to pp. 28 and 35 for an understanding of these tables. Our discussion of the salinity data will likewise follow much the same order as in the case of temperature. It must be borne in mind that these tables do not show the highest and the lowest individual salinities found by us, since the figures, even for single stations and single periods, are averages based upon two or more samples. The highest salinity met with in the bay was 33.27, at station H-5188 (4967), ebb tide, bottom, October 12, 1912. The lowest figure was 3.25, at H—-5088 (4975), flood tide, surface, April 23, 1912.

thus designated are not included in the estimates, because of the omission of certain observations at these stations. They are consequently not comparable with the figures for the other stations. With the exception of plate 4, all of the salinity charts are based upon our figures as they were before the correction of 2.3 per cent above referred to (p. 58) had been applied. The ordinates of these charts consequently do not quite agree with the corresponding figures in the tables, though the form of the curves is not in any case appreci- ably altered. The more exact value for any station and period may be found if desired by reference to the tables. Plate 4 represents the mean annual salinity at each of the twenty- three regular hydrographic stations of the survey, each figure being based normally upon twenty-four determinations, at six different periods of the year. In figure L these same relations are represented by the method of coordinates, and separate curves have here been plotted for surface Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay Sumner, et al. 1914 | o o i a rz [-] — N — [=) G3 cg oR ~ éS ~ oS = 5 ‘< e Sw S oD o nD oO Dn a D D a 2 3 2 z 7 S| ¢ Tr Tv 7T xe 7 ?

The stations are arranged along the horizontal axis at intervals proportionate to the actual distances between them, irrespective of direction. The vertical scale repre- sents salinity in parts per thousand. The salinity figures upon which this and the next eight diagrams are based have been found to be too high by about 2.8 per cent. There is consequently a small constant diserepaney between the diagrams and the tables, the latter being more correct. (See pp. 57, 58.) 66 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 and bottom water. It will be noted that the mean annual salinity ranges from less than 16 per mille in Carquinez Strait, which re- ceives the discharge of the rivers, to over 31 per mille, just within the Golden Gate. The rise of these curves from Carquinez Strait to the latter point is fairly regular, save for a marked fall in both which is encountered in passing from San Pablo Bay into the main body of San Francisco Bay, i.e., from station H-4981 to H-4974. This might easily be interpreted as due to the admixture at this point of con- siderable quantities of fresh water, but no adequate source of fresh water is known here and the phenomenon may readily be explained otherwise. As already stated (pp. 11, 12), the upper, middle and lower regions of the bay were worked on different days. Now station H—4974 lies at the upper end of the middle series of stations, while H-4981 lies at the lower end of the upper series. Consequently, on the flood-tide work observations for the middle region were commenced at the former station, whereas the observations for the upper region were ended at the latter. It is needless to state that water taken at the commencement of the flood period will have a lower salinity for any given point than water taken toward its close. Conversely, at the time of the ebb-tide work the observations for the upper region were commenced at H-4981, while the observations of the middle region were ended at H-4974. Water taken at the end of the ebb period will naturally have a lower salinity than water taken at the beginning of the ebb period. Thus in both eases the conditions under which the work was per- formed led to the taking of water samples of a lower salinity at station H-4974 than at station H-4981. The peculiarities of our curves are thus adequately accounted for. Moreover, the same considerations show us how cautious we must be in comparing the mean salinity of any two stations unless we know that the two were visited at approxi- mately the same stage of the tide. This same source of error will be be discussed under another form later (pp. 71, 72). From the Golden Gate, the salinity curve naturally falls toward the lower end of the bay. Commencing with the first station below San Francisco, there is, however, no significant decline shown by the surface water, though such a decline is to be noted for some distance in the ease of the bottom water. The slight rise of both of these curves at the extreme southern end is probably of significance, since it is manifested by four of the six seasonal curves in figure M. We have 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 67 further evidence of a rise in salinity at the lower end of the bay (see p. 85). It might have been expected that the difference between the sur- face and bottom salinity would be greatest at the point where the larger part of the fresh water enters the bay, and that this difference would be found to decrease gradually as we passed to the southward, owing to the mixing of the various strata amid the swift tidal cur- rents. On the other hand, the divergence of the surface and bottom curves from the extreme south towards the neighborhood of San Francisco points to the conclusion that little fresh water is discharged directly into the southern half of the bay. It seems likely that the ereater part of such fresh water as it receives is brought thither through the ageney of the tides and comes originally from the rivers entering at the north. Figure M represents the regional distribution of salinities during each of the six periods covered by the observations. It will be noted that the period of lowest salinity was the second one (April 23- May 6), when the mean figure for the bay as a whole was 25.23, while the period of highest salinity was the fourth one (October 7-12), when the mean for the bay was 30.51. These facts accord well with what we know of the rainfall and the discharge of the rivers, as will be pointed out below. It will be noted that, with a single exception, all of the curves are indented at station H-4974, that is, either an absolute decrease of salinity, or a diminished rate of increase, was found in passing from station H—4981 to that just mentioned. (In the exceptional case, the curve is indented at an adjacent station). This phenomenon has just been discussed and no further comment is necessary. In figure N we have portrayed the annual range of salinity for each station. Each of the ordinates represents the difference, at that point, between the highest and lowest salinity recorded for the year. While the distribution of a species with relation to salinity seems more likely to be determined by the maximum or minimum salt concentra- tion, it is not impossible that in some cases it may be due to the total range of salinity to which the organism is exposed in the course of a year. This range, as will be readily noted, is highest in San Pablo Bay, where an annual range of nearly 12 per mille is found at one point. Here the mean salinity during the October period was more than twice that found during the April-May period.

Figure O shows the mean salinity of the bay as a whole through- out the annual cycle. Separate curves have here been plotted for the surface and bottom water. The time of minimum salinity during our observations occurred in the second period (April-May), the curves rising to a maximum in the fourth period (October). The effects of the rainy and dry seasons are obvious in a general way. These rela- tions will be discussed more fully below. The relations between the curves for surface and bottom salinity offer some features of interest. The distance between the two is greatest during the period of lowest salinity, 1.e., at the time when the largest amount of fresh water enters the bay. On the other hand, this difference is least during the period of highest salinity, in October. These conditions, like many others which we have observed, might well have been predicted in advance. A relation the reason for which is less obvious is shown in figure P, representing annual salinity curves based upon the ebb and flood observations respectively. It is, on first thought, surprising to find the mean salinities for the flood tide to be lower than those for the ebb in five out of six of the periods of observation. The mean figures for the year as a whole, as will be seen by reference to Table 18, are: 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 71 flood, 26.88; ebb, 27.57. Moreover, these relations hold both for sur- face and for bottom. The figures for these considered separately are: Flood Ebb f aa SSS Surface Bottom Surface Bottom 26.00 27.75 26.94 28.21 Again, if we exclude the four stations (see footnote on p. 64) for which we cannot fairly compare the flood and ebb observations, we find that at fifteen of the remaining nineteen stations the flood figure is the lower. 1 | SS SS SS Se Feb. Mor. Apr. May Jun. vu. Aug. Sept Oct. Nov. Dec. Jon. Fig. P. Annual salinity curves for entire bay. The continuous line is based on flood figures, the broken line on ebb ones. Since the mean salinity of the bay increases with tolerable regu- larity from Carquinez Strait to the Golden Gate, it might have been expected that the flood stream would, in general, shift water from a zone of higher salinity to a zone of lower salinity. The explanation of this unexpected condition is, however, quite simple. As in another case already referred to, the anomaly doubtless depends upon the procedure followed in making our observations. If, at any given point, water samples were taken continuously through a succession of tidal phases, it would be found that, in general, the salinity would begin to rise with the onset of the flood stream, reaching its maximum at about the period of slack water. With the commencement of the ebb, the salinity would gradually fall again until it once more reached its minimum. Early flood observations would thus show practically the same salinity as late ebb observa- tions, and an even lower salinity than early ebb observations. The higher salinity shown by our ‘‘ebb’’ figures is quite intelligible on the assumption that the observations were made preponderatingly during the earlier half of each tidal phase. 72 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 Now, a scrutiny of our original records shows that this assumption is quite justifiable. It was in general our aim to commence our obser- vations for the day at the very beginning of one or the other phase of the tide. In about a third of the cases it is expressly recorded that this was done, while the same was doubtless true in many other instances. Our field notes likewise show that the hydrographic obser- vations for a given day extended through an average period of less than three and three-fourths hours, and consequently must commonly have been completed long before the tide turned. In those few cases in which it was necessary to-trespass on the ebb period, in order to ”? complete the ‘‘flood’’ observations for the day, or vice versa, the figures have been rejected from our computations. lood Observations } Eb Observations i | x =) iS 3 5} 6 Fig. Q. Diagram illustrating explanation of higher mean salinity of water samples taken during ebb tide than during flood tide. The diagram figure Q will illustrate the foregoing explanation of the average higher salinity of our “‘ebb’’ water samples. The curves here figured are, however, considerably generalized. The actual conditions shown throughout any single tidal cycle are far from being as simple as this, as will be seen by a glance at figure R. It is plain, first of all, that the surface and bottom waters have changed more or less independently of one another. If we may judge from the salinity, the turn of the tide for the former occured at about 10 a.m., which corresponds to the time of high water, as stated in the “Tide Tables.’’ On the other hand, the fall of salinity for the bottom water did not occur until some two hours later. This was likewise the time at which the ship began to swing about. The next time of low water, according to the ‘‘Tide Tables,’’ was 3:17 p.m., which cor- responds neither to the time of reversal of the current, as observed on the ship, nor to the rise of salinity at the surface or bottom. 1914} Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 73 These irregularities are perhaps related to the fact, already referred to, that the succeeding ebb and flood phases of the tide fre- quently do not agree with one another either in duration or in vertical range, and that the reversal of the current does not coincide with the commencing rise or fall of water level. We must likewise con- sider that the continued inflow, at the head of the bay, of water having 23 l2m ipm 2 Fig. R.

The continuous line is based on surface figures, the broken line on bottom ones. a much lower specific gravity than sea-water, probably results in pro- longing the duration of the ebb stream at the surface, as compared with that at the bottom. The results of the other series of observations, conducted through- out one tidal eyele, near the Golden Gate (station H—5329) are even more difficult to explain. While the salinity of the bottom water rose throughout the flood period, and began to decline at about the same time that the reversal of current was noted, that of the surface was subject to various irregularities, the highest point being reached about three hours after the commencement of the ebb stream. These facts suggest the occurrence of various cross-currents or eddies in the vicinity of the anchorage, a supposition for which we have other evi- dence. It is of significance to recall that during this last series of observations there was a (predicted) rise of 5.6 feet during the flood period, followed by a fall of only 1.3 feet during the ebb. In figure S we have compared our curve for annual salinity throughout the bay as a whole with that for the rainfall of the regions contributory to it. The latter curve is based not upon the average conditions for a long period, but upon the year covered by our hydro- graphic observations, together with the few months preceding the commencement of our work. The rainfall indicated for each month is the mean of that recorded by United States Weather Bureau 74 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Von. 14 observers at three points: (1) at Red Bluff, representing the Saecra- mento Valley; (2) at Fresno, representing the San Joaquin Valley, and (3) at San Francisco, representing the bay region."® Nn o = JI 30 29 od ey a ee a Jan.

The curve for rainfall (upper) is based upon the mean of the monthly precipitation (in inches) at Red Bluff, Fresno and San Francisco, during the year covered by the hydrographic observations. The relations which are discoverable between these curves are ones which might have been anticipated. There is plainly a general cor- respondence between the period of greatest rainfall and that of lowest salinity, and between the period of least rainfall and that of the highest salinity. That the period of greatest salinity should lag somewhat behind the period of least rainfall is likewise a condition which we should have expected to find, since the effect of the early fall rains would not be evident immediately in the discharge of the rivers. In the diagram it is plain that the salinity of the bay con- tinued to increase between the July period of observations and the October period, although there was a mean rainfall at the three points named of nearly two inches in September (chiefly during the first week of that month). 18 While the three points chosen are doubtless not situated in the partieular localities which supply the greatest amounts of water to San Francisco Bay, their fluctuations of rainfall are probably proportionate to those at the chief sources of this water. ; 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 75 We should also have expected that the period of least salinity would lag behind that of the greatest rainfall, and this relation is apparently indicated by our diagram. We must remember, however, that we have no record of the salinity of the bay between February and April. The actual minimum for the year may have occurred at some distance from the point indicated. The following table gives the mean rainfall for each month of the year at each of the three points above referred to, based upon many years’ records of the United States Weather Bureau. It is likely that these figures may be of interest, in comparison with those upon which our curve is based, representing an exceptionally dry season.

The ordinates represent the differences between the highest and lowest salinities occurring simultaneously in the bay at any given time of the year. Jan. Figure T represents the regional range in salinity throughout the annual eyele. It is quite intelligible that the greatest extremes were 76 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 found in the second period, when the largest amount of fresh water was being discharged into the northern end of the bay. On the other hand, the range fell to nearly its lowest point in Oetober, when the salinity throughout the bay as a whole was greatest. Why the actual minimum oceurred in January, rather than in October, is not so clear. We regret our inability to compare our annual salinity curve with one representing the discharge of the rivers for the entire period during which our water samples were collected. Unfortunately, at the date of writing this report, the figures for the river flow have been com- puted only to September, 1912. The estimated run-off of the Saecra- mento and San Joaquin rivers is, however, given herewith for the first nine months of that year. We are indebted to the United States Geo- logical Survey for the use of the unpublished records for the last three months. Acre-feet January 1,266,000 June 2,498,000 February 972,000 July 772,000 March 1,714,000 August 471,000 April 1,616,000 September 498,000 May 3,446,000 It will be seen that in this particular year, which was, in that respect, typical, the month of maximum river flow was May. It was during the second period of our hydrographic observations. which fell in late April and early May, that the lowest mean salinity for the year was found. In another year this minimum might have been found during the February period of observations. An examination of the various years’ records for the run-off of the Sacramento and San Joaquin systems discloses not only very great differences in the total discharge from year to year, but equally great differences in the distribution of their discharge according to seasons. In some years the maximum river flow falls in January, in others the maximum is not reached until May. It is obvious, therefore, that no typical salinity curve for the bay could be based upon a single year’s observations. Since one of the most important of the physical factors affecting life in this bay, its salinity, varies inversely with the amount of water discharged by the two great river systems emptying into it, a some- what detailed consideration of the flow of these rivers seems desirable. Our estimates of river flow have been computed from Water Supply Papers 298 and 299 of the United States Geological Survey (Me- 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 77 tlashan and Henshaw, 1912; MeGlashan and Dean, 1912). The total run-off of these river systems has been obtained approximately by adding the figures for the main rivers and those for the tributaries entering below the points where the former observations were made. For the Sacramento River basin, we have added together the figures for the Sacramento River (near Red Bluff), Stony Creek (near Fruto), Feather River (at Oroville), Yuba River (near Smartsville), Bear River (at Van Trent), American River (at Fairoaks), Cache Creek (at Yolo), and Putah Creek (at Winters). For the San Joaquin Basin, we have combined the figures for the San Joaquin River (near Friant), Mereed River (near Merced Falls), Tuolumne River (near Lagrange), Stanislaus River (at Knights Ferry), Calaveras River (at Jenny Lind), Mokelumne River (near Clements), and Cosumnes River (at Michigan Bar). The minor tributaries are omitted from these calculations as well as the surface drainage into all these streams, below the observation stations (including that into San Francisco Bay as a whole). On the other hand, much of the water from some of them is diverted for irrigation. In table 20 are recorded the figures for the run-off in acre-feet’? of these two river systems during ten years for which complete estimates are available. The figures for the first six of these years have been computed from the estimates of the State Engineering Department of California, those for the last four from the figures of the United States Geological Survey. Both sets of data are published in the papers of TABLE 20 DISCHARGE OF SACRAMENTO AND SAN JOAQUIN RIVER SYSTEMS IN ACRE-FEET, BasED UPON RECORDS FOR TEN YEARS Sacramento San Joaquin Combined Year system system flow 1878-79 26,387,000 7,090,000 33,477,000 1879-80 32,300,000 12,091,000 44,391,000 1880-81 32,000,000 9,916,000 41,916,000 1881-82 25,300,000 8,367,000 33,667,000 1882-83 17,800,000 6,361,000 24,161,000 1883-84 29,900,000 18,212,000 43,112,000 1907-08 15,291,000 4,023,000 19,314,000 1908-09 33,756,000 11,178,000 44,934,000 1909-10 20,705,000 8,106,000 28,811,000 1910-11 27,906,000 14,460,000 42,366,000 Mean of 10 yrs. 26,134,500 9,480,400 35,614,900 19 One acre foot = 48,560 cubie feet = 325,850 gallons = 1,233.5 cubic meters = 1,233,500 liters. 78 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 MeGlashan and others (1912). The basis of computation has been somewhat different for the earlier and later sets of figures since different gaging stations were employed in the two cases. It will be seen here that the greatest annual discharge during the ten years considered is to the least as more than two to one. Vastly greater differences in the rate of river flow are however recorded for the different months of an average year. In table 21 it will be seen that the mean discharge for May is more than thirteen times that for September. On the other hand, the mean salinity of the bay as a whole for the April-May period of our observations was found to be such as to imply the presence of only two and one-half times as much fresh water as during the October period. Even allowing for the facet that during the year 1912 the river flow for April and May was less than half the normal, it will be seen that there can be no simple in- verse proportion between the salinity of the bay and the discharge of the rivers. Another phase of this same subject will be considered in the next few paragraphs.

There are, in the course of a year, about 706 ebb tides, during which water passes from the bay into the ocean. The amount of 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 79 river water which, on the average, must leave the bay with each ebb 35,600,000 706 22 and 24) that the total amount of water which passes out during each ebb tide is, on the average, about 1,077,600 acre-feet. From this it follows that the river water which enters the head of the bay tide is thus or 50,425 aere-feet. It has been shown (pp. in the course of a single tidal eycle amounts to less than five per cent of the total quantity of water discharged through the Golden Gate during the same period. Accordingly, more than ninety-five per cent of this quantity must have previously entered from the ocean. The year during which our observations were conducted was a particularly dry one. The rainfall for the three representative points above referred to (pp. 74, 75) was only seventy-six per cent of the average during the year 1912, while the discharge of the rivers for the first nine months of that year (beyond which the figures are not yet available) was only about forty per cent of the normal. It prob- ably would be safe to assume, therefore, that, within this period, not more than 2.5 per cent of the total volume of water discharged from the bay during an average ebb tide, came from the rivers. The re- maining 97.5 per cent must have entered from the ocean during the preceding flood. It might seem, on first thought, that we should have found a mean salinity in the bay such as would result from combining 97.5 per cent ocean water and 2.5 per cent fresh water. Assuming for the former a salinity of 34 per mille, the bay water should have had, according to this mode of reasoning, a mean salinity for the year of 33.15. In reality, it was found to be 27.48. Even if we substitute for pure ocean water, in these computations, water of the mean salinity actually met with during the flood stream in the Golden Gate (30.77) ,?° we have, as the result of such a mixture, a mean salinity of 30 per mille. In order to bring about the condition actually found, we should have to combine 89 per cent of water from the Golden Gate with 11 per cent of the river water. In other words, it would be necessary to assume a river discharge more than four times as great as that calculated from the published records. This contradiction rests upon a false conception of the actual movements of water in the bay. If sea-water of the assumed salinity and fresh water from the rivers really mixed throughout the bay, in 20 Based on samples taken during the flood series of observations at station H-4967, which was the nearest of all to the Golden Gate. 80 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Von. 14 the proportions above stated, the resulting water would doubtless be of a much higher salinity than that actually found. In reality, these accessions of fresh and salt water behave quite differently from one another. The former gives rise, despite tidal fluctuations, to a net southward movement of the waters of the bay, from Carquinez Strait to the Golden Gate. There thus tends to be a progressive, though intermittent, displacement of the salt water by that from the rivers. If the action of the tides should suddenly cease, the upper arm, at least, of San Francisco Bay would soon become perfectly fresh. On the other hand, the water from the sea—itself diluted—enters but a comparatively short distance into the bay, after which it passes out to the ocean again. Assuming a mean velocity for the flood current of 1.2 nautical miles per hour (see p. 26), none of this outside water can commonly penetrate more than seven or eight miles beyond the Golden Gate.2t This would carry it but a third or a fourth of the way to either end of the bay. Within this central area it displaces a great volume of the water already present, driving it both to the north and the south. The incoming water doubtless mixes, to a consid- erable extent, however, with the bay water, along a very irregular boundary. But the water which recedes on the ebb tide is largely the same as that which enters on the flood, somewhat augmented and diluted, to be sure, as a result of the continued influx of fresh water at the head of the bay. Beyond this central area which may receive water directly from the sea outside, the flood stream merely shifts the bay water from regions of higher salinity to regions of lower salinity, mixing the two together to a greater or less extent. Thus, even in San Pablo Bay, which receives the entire discharge of the two great rivers, the mean salinity indicates the presence of sixty per cent of sea-water, while in Carquinez Strait itself the mean salinity is nearly half that of sea-water. If we could determine for any considerable period the mean salinity of the water entering the bay through the Golden Gate, as well as that of the water passing out with the ebb stream, these values, together with the mean volume of the water discharged with each tide, would give us the rate of inflow of the fresh water during this 21 In reality such a distance would be reached only in the midchannel and near the surface. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 81 period. Such figures would serve as a useful check upon those for river flow, computed in other ways. Unfortunately, we have no adequate data of the sort referred to. Of the two oceasions when hydrographic observations were conducted at hourly intervals throughout a complete tidal eyele, the first gave results which are in fairly close agreement with the estimated river flow for the same period. The second, on the contrary, showed an actually higher mean salinity for the ‘‘ebb’’ phase as a whole than for the ‘‘flood’’ phase. Various other anomalies in the results last referred to have already been discussed. They show the futility of attempting to base any far-reaching conclusions upon single experi- ments of this sort. In order to ascertain the condition of the water in that part of the ocean adjacent to San Francisco Bay, salinity determinations were made between October 15 and November 4, 1912, at nine stations out- side of the Golden Gate (plate 2). Seven of these (D—5807 and 5806, and 5792-5788 inclusive) were made at about equal intervals along a line extending from the Golden Gate to a point nearly south of South- east Farallon Island. The nearest of this group to the Golden Gate (D-5807) was about three and one-half nautical miles from the latter, the depth being nine fathoms. The farthest station from shore (D-5788) was about twenty-six nautical miles from the Golden Gate, at a depth of over sixty fathoms. Hydrographic observations were likewise made at two other stations (D-5785 and 5787) from sixteen to twenty miles southwest of the Golden Gate, at depths of about forty fathoms. It was our endeavor at most of these stations to take water samples and temperatures at the surface and bottom and at a point about midway between the two. Since the messenger which should have reversed the lowermost water bottle failed to work in some eases, and since no significant stratification was commonly observed as regards the salinity, I will present herewith the mean figure for each station. The following stations are arranged in sequence, commencing with that one nearest to the Golden Gate: H-5227 (D-5807) H-5226 (D-5806)... H-5225 (D-5792)... H-5224 (D-5791) H-5223 (D-5790)... H-5222 (D-5789)... 34.10 5221 (D=5 7/88) 34.05 82 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 The other two stations, which did not lie along this main line, gave the following figures : H-5220 (D-5787).........---.----- 34.08 H-5219 (D-5785).................. 34.04 It will be seen that, with the exception of the first two stations listed, which show an evident reduction of salinity,?? the water at these outlying points exhibits practically the same degree of concentration. Indeed, the figure for station H—5225, ten miles distant from the Golden Gate, is exactly the same (34.05) as that for station H—5221, twenty-six miles distant. During October, at least, the influence of the water of San Francisco Bay would thus seem to be limited to a comparatively narrow zone immediately outside of the Golden Gate. Whether or not this is true during the spring season, when from ten to twenty times as much fresh water is passing out of the bay, we have at present no means of knowing. Excluding the two stations nearest to the Golden Gate, the mean salinity of these off-shore stations was 34.04. According to the salinity chart of Schott (1902), it would appear that the waters adjacent to the California coast, in the latitude of San Francisco, should have a concentration of less than 33.5 per mille, though the isohaline of 34 is represented as bending far to the northward as the coast is approached. It is not evident, however, to what degree Schott’s figures represent annual averages, and it is like- wise not stated how close to shore the observations were carried. According to the theory of upwelling, we should expect to find water of a higher salinity, derived from the deeper parts of the ocean, in the immediate neighborhood of the western coast. Some basis for a comparison between the salinity conditions of two successive years is afforded by the results of the supplementary obser- vations of July 18 to 23, 1913, already referred to in the chapter on temperature. The six hydrographic stations of the regular series which were revisited in July, 1913, gave a mean salinity which differed by only 0.32 per mille from the mean of these stations for the same month of the preceding year. The 1913 readings were slightly lower on the average than the 1912 ones, the differences ranging from -+ 0.87 to — 1.73 per mille. Station H—5329, near the Golden Gate, may likewise be fairly compared with 4967 of the regular series, which was in the same vicinity. For the former station, twenty-eight samples taken 22 The field records indicate an ebb tide at this time. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 83 during approximately one complete tidal cycle, on July 18, 1913, gave a mean salinity of 31.07. For station 4967, the mean figure derived from the July samples of the preceding year was 31.53. It must here be remarked that both of the years in question were years of about equally deficient rainfall. For the year 1911-1912 (July, 1911, to June, 1912), the mean precipitation at the three points considered on page 74. was 12.73 inches. For the year 1912-1913, the mean figure was 12.39 inches. Fortunately, we are able to insert, during the passage of this paper through the press, the results of some water analyses, based upon samples taken on March 5 and 6, 1914. Unlike the two preceding years, the season of 1913-1914 was one of exceptionally high rainfall. Up to the taking of these later samples (strictly speaking, from July 1, 1913 to March 3, 1914), the mean precipitation, for the three points chosen as representing regions tributary to San Francisco Bay (p. 74), was 22.17 inches. That for the same period during the preceding year was 9.04, the ‘‘normal’’ being 13.78. The water samples, particularly the surface ones, show a strikingly low salinity for the later year, as compared with the same period in 1912. For the surface waters, the later figures average only 36 per cent of the earlier ones, for the bottom waters they average 81 per cent of the earlier ones. The following table gives these figures by stations, permitting of a comparison between the water of the bay for March 5 and 6, 1914, and that at corresponding phases of the tide from Febru- ary 13 to 27, 1912.

These samples have therefore been regarded as nearly pure river water. In computing the averages, their salinity has been considered as zero. 84 Umversity of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 Two stations in the central division of the bay, near the Golden Gate and near Goat Island, respectively, were likewise visited on March 6, 1914, at both the flood and the ebb tides (H. 5358, 5359, 5364, 5365). The mean figure for the four surface samples here taken was 13.08, that for the four bottom samples being 30.18. Since no earlier samples had been obtained at these stations, for the same time of the year, it is impossible to make comparisons. It is thus plain that the salinity figures which we have earlier recorded, for the spring months at least, do not fairly represent the condition of San Francisco Bay after a season of high rainfall, and they are doubtless considerably higher than would have been obtained after a season of even average precipitation. The two series of shoal water stations across the upper and lower portions of the bay, in July, 1913 (see p. 47), gave results which are perhaps not wholly comparable. The three hydrographic stations 5348 to 5350, in the shoal waters of the southern arm of the bay, gave a mean salinity (surface and bottom) of 27.57, while four samples, taken at practically the same time at station 5001, in the main channel, gave a mean salinity of 27.83. These differences may have no special significance. A much greater difference was found in San Pablo Bay. where the mean salinity (surface and bottom) of five stations, extending through its region of greatest breadth, was 22.67 during the flood tide, while that of eight samples taken at station 5330 (= 4981) during the same period, was 27.86. This is not quite a fair comparison, however, since the last-named station was situated at the lower end of San Pablo Bay, while the line of shoal-water stations crossed the latter at a distance of some miles to the north. But even when due allowance is made for the difference in the stage of the tide, the lower salinity of the shoal water area is still sufficiently striking. It is doubtless due to the fresh water discharged by certain estuaries. Owing to the courtesy of the Morgan Oyster Company, we are able to present salinity figures for two of that company’s principal beds, based upon samples collected throughout a considerable part of one year. The results of these titrations are presented in table 22. For the months of March, April, May and June, each figure civen is the mean derived from four samples taken at two-weeks’ intervals, and at both high and low-water. The remaining figures are based upon only two titrations each, with the exception of one, which is based upon ten. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 85 TABLE 22 SALINITY OF THE WATER AT TwO BEDS OF THE MORGAN OYSTER COMPANY, DuRING A NUMBER OF CONSECUTIVE MONTHS Month Millbrae Dumbarton November, 1912 __......... 31.20 December 900 eee 31.07 January, 1913... 30.50 February 25.86 27.48 March 26.76 27.29 April 26.29 27.22 May 25.17 27.43 June 24.38 27.27 July 28.23 28.37 August 29.78 30.32 September 30.73 31.49 An interesting fact which appears from this table is the consider- ably higher salinity which is uniformly shown by the Dumbarton water, taken near the extreme southern end of the bay, in comparison with that from Millbrae, nearer by many miles to the Golden Gate, and in much freer communication with the great reservoir of pure ocean water. Since no considerable source of fresh water is known to occur near the Millbrae beds, we are inclined to attribute the higher salinity at Dumbarton to the extensive evaporation which must oceur throughout such a large area of very shoal water. It will be recalled (p. 66) that an appreciable rise in salinity was commonly found in passing from the region below San Francisco to the southernmost of our hydrographie stations (5001). We are likewise indebted to Messrs. Eaton and Moraghan, of the Darbee and Immel and M. B. Moraghan oyster companies respectively, for the opportunity of testing twenty-four water samples, taken in November and December, 1912, at their beds near Point San Mateo. The mean salinity for the November samples is 31.05, that for the December ones being 30.01. These figures indicate a salinity of the same general magnitude as has been recorded for the other beds during these months. It is regrettable that a satisfactory series of salinity determinations, made in earlier years, is not available for comparison with these of ours, particularly in view of the recent steady decline in the oyster- raising industry of San Francisco Bay. Unfortunately, the only figures of which we are aware, based upon the analysis of water from 86 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Von. 14 the oyster beds, are so few in number, and present such ineongruities, that they certainly do not furnish a fair comparison between the years in question. In the course of this survey, a few samples of nearly or quite fresh water were collected incidentally from streams tributary to San Francisco Bay. From Napa Creek, several miles above Mare Island, we obtained a single sample on April 1, 1912, at about high water. The salinity was found to be 5.62. From Suisun Bay, at station D-5961, a water sample was obtained on April 2, 1912, during the early flood tide. The chlorine permillage was 0.088. If this sample be regarded as diluted sea-water, the salinity equivalent, according to Knudsen’s tables, was 0.19 per mille, indicating the presence of rather more than one-half of one per cent of sea-water. Thanks to Mr. W. E. Allen, of the Stockton High School, we have had the opportunity of examining some samples of water from the San Joaquin River, at Stockton, California, taken during the months of January to July, 1913. Stockton is over thirty miles from the point at which the combined waters of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers discharge into Suisun Bay. The rise and fall of the tide are, however, pronounced there. As might have been expected, the proportion of chlorine was so low in these samples that it was necessary to concentrate the water by evaporation before making the titrations. The resulting figures differ so enormously from one another that we are at a loss for an explana- tion. The mean chlorine content of the eleven samples which were tested was 0.076 gm. per liter, while the figures ranged from 0.003 to 0.169. It may be added that these two extremes represent samples taken during contiguous months. In fact, so little law is evident among these figures that we must reserve judgment as to their signif- icanece. Perhaps future studies of the river water at Stockton will render them intelligible. As in the case of our temperature data, it will be instructive to compare the salinity conditions in San Francisco Bay with those in certain other bodies of water where observations of this nature have been made. For Buzzard’s Bay and Vineyard Sound, the density ranged, during the observations made in the course of the biological survey of the Woods Hole Region (Sumner, Osburn, Cole and Davis, 1913) from 1.0212 to 1.0244, representing salinities of about 28.7 and 33.0 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 87 respectively. The mean for the two bodies of water was about 31.7, a figure slightly higher than that for San Francisco Bay at the station nearest the Golden Gate, and about fifteen per cent higher than that for the bay as a whole. The absence of any large streams within the Woods Hole region, and the free intermingling of the coastal water with the ocean through the tides, are obviously responsible both for the higher mean salinity and for the small range of salinity in that region. In Chesapeake Bay, on the other hand, the salinity averages much lower than in San Francisco Bay. Figures are available from twenty- four stations within the upper two-thirds of Chesapeake Bay. These are derived from the ‘‘Manual of Oyster Culture in Maryland,’’ by Grave (1912, pp. 47-48). We have converted the density figures given in this report into corresponding ones for salinity, making due allowance for the temperatures at which the salinometer readings were made. The observations in Chesapeake Bay were made during two periods of the year: (1) during that of greatest rainfall (April 20 to May 8), and (2) during the period of least expected rainfall (October 10 to 26).2° The mean salinity for all the stations for the first period was 10.86, that for the second being 14.20. The mean of these two figures is 12.53. This represents an average salinity considerably less than half that of San Francisco Bay. It is a lower figure, indeed, than the annual mean for any of our hydrographic stations, even those in Carquinez Strait. The mean figure for the Chesapeake Bay station having the highest salinity (average for the two periods) was 18.90, that for the station having the lowest salinity being 4.33. The determination of water density by means of salinometers has been the one hitherto chiefly employed in this country and, despite the inexactness of the readings, this method will doubtless continue to be widely used on account of its greater convenience. We there- fore append table 23, for converting salinity figures of a wide range into those for specific gravity. In one column is given the specific gravity of various grades of salt water at 0° C, in the other their specific gravity at 15° C (= 59° EF). Most salinometers now used in this country are graduated so as to give correct readings at the latter temperature. All of the figures comprised in this table have 23 As it happened, the rainfall for this latter period was much greater than usual, giving density figures which were doubtless lower than normal. 88 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 been obtained (or computed) from Knudsen’s ‘‘ Hydrographic Tables.”’ TABLE 23 SALINITY AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF SEA WATER AND BRACKISH WATER (Based upon Knudsen’s Hydrographic Tables) Specific gravity Specific gravity at0°O (32°F) ati15°C (59° F) referred to referred to Salinity distilled water distilled water (per 1000) at 4° C at 4° C 5 1.003897 1.00801 6 1.00478 1.00378 7 1.00559 1.00455 8 1.00639 1.00531 9 1.00721 1.00608 10 1.00801 1.00684 11 1.00882 1.00761 12 1.00962 1.00837 13 1.01043 1.00914 14 1.01124 1.00991 15 1.01204 1.01067 16 1.01285 1.01144 17 1.01365 1.01220 18 1.01445 1.01296 19 1.01526 1.01373 20 1.01606 1.01449 21 1.01687 1.01526 22 1.01767 1.01602 23 1.01847 1.01678 24 1.01928 1.01756 25 1.02008 1.01832 26 1.02089 1.01909 27 1.02169 1.01985 28 1.02249 1.02061 29 1.02330 1.021389 30 1.02410 1.02215 31 1.02491 1.02292 32 1.02571 1.02368 33 1.02651 1.02445 34 1.02732 1.02522 35 1.02813 1.02599 36 1.02894 1.02676 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 89 B.—PRELIMINARY REPoRT Upon THE Bottom Derposits As stated in Part A, bottom samples were taken at all of the dredg- ing stations. They were likewise taken at most of the positions repre- sented by the hydrographic stations of the regular series.** At the dredging stations samples of the bottom material brought up by one or more of the appliances used were saved, notes being made regarding the consistency, color and texture of this material while fresh. These notes will be found in the records of the dredging stations, constituting Appendix I to the present report. That these preliminary character- izations of the various bottoms do not always agree with the results of the more careful subsequent examinations in the laboratory is probably due, in most cases, to the lack of uniformity in the mass of material brought in by the dredge. A deseription quite applicable to one part of the dredge-load would, in some eases, have been quite inadequate if another sample had been chosen. The bottom materials were preserved in various ways. Stones and gravel were simply dried and kept in bags. Mud and sand were placed in bottles or jars. It was our practice at the outset to retain two of these samples, one in alcohol, the other without any preserva- tive. Later, two alcoholic samples were bottled. One of these was intended for use in the study of the bottom material itself, the other for an examination of the organisms contained in it. At three of the last dredging stations (5847-5849) samples were obtained by the use of the ‘‘Albatross’’ bottom-sampler and these were treated after the manner of those taken at the hydrographic stations. At the hydrographic stations of the regular series (see footnote below) samples were taken on two of the bimonthly eruises, excep- tion being made of a few stations at which the bottom was too hard to permit of the penetration of the instrument. A set of samples was first taken with the Ekman tubular bottom-sampler. This instrument, as already stated, was found to be inadequate for our requirements. ; 24 We do not say ‘‘at all of the hydrographic stations,’’ since each of the repetitions of the primary stations has been treated in our records as a separate station. 90 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 Only a few of the samples thus obtained have been subjected to quantitative treatment. Later, a series was obtained with the ‘‘ Alba- ” tross’’ improved sampler, a description of which has already been given (pp. 15-19). These specimens were retained, until we were pre- pared to examine them, in the paraffined pasteboard tubes referred to in the description of the apparatus. As in the case of the other bottom material, two samples were taken at each point where the instrument was used, one being intended primarily for biological study, the other for geological or mineralogieal. Altogether, material from seventy-nine stations has been subjected to the system of examination to be described below. Since from a considerable number of stations two or more sections of a tube sample have been treated separately, it may be said that one hundred and twenty-two bottom samples have been subjected to these analyses. These various specimens comprised: (1) dried material. including the large stones and much of the gravel, together with the sand from certain earlier stations; (2) material preserved in alcohol, including most of the sand and much of the mud; and (3) the tube specimens, taken with the bottom sampling machines and kept for future study in the pasteboard tubes. These last were in all cases composed of mud or muddy sand. Materials taken in the bag of an ordinary dredge, dragged along a course a half mile or more in length, obviously do not represent the conditions existing at any single spot upon the bottom. Several quite distinct types of bottom deposit may be passed over and scraped up in the course of such a haul. Moreover, a sample of this sort will contain only materials from a very superficial layer. The specimens from the stations between D—5700 and D-—5809 are of this character. Materials obtained by means of the ‘‘orange-peel bucket’’ have the advantage of being taken from a single restricted spot, and further- more of being derived from greater depths. It is impossible, how- ever, to obtain stratified samples by means of this instrument. Hence it was our practice during the survey to bottle merely a small repre- sentative portion of such material, or a mixture derived from several points in the mass, in case the latter varied noticeably in appearance. The samples from stations D—5816 to 5833 were of this character. The tube samples alone furnished specimens which preserved the natural stratification of the bottom deposits at points whose positions were accurately known. All of the samples from the hydrographic 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 91 stations were of this character, together with those from the dredging stations 5847 and 5848. The object of the analysis of these samples was twofold: (1) to make a quantitative determination of the physical texture of the various materials found in different parts of the bay, regardless of chemical composition, and (2) to ascertain the proportions of shelly matter (calcium carbonate) and of vegetable debris. To these must be added a third object, in the case of about sixty of the mud samples, namely, a determination of the total amount of nitrogen present. As already stated, the laboratory methods here employed were largely prescribed by Professor Louderback, who also, in considerable measure, supervised the analyses. The mode of procedure necessarily differed somewhat with the nature of the specimen at hand. The materials were classified roughly under the three following heads, though it will be understood that no one of these was often entirely free from the others. I. Stones and gravel—The portion chosen for study was dried, if necessary, then weighed. Any shells or shell fragments which might be present were removed and weighed separately, and the same was done with fragments of wood or other vegetable debris. In some eases, stones were scraped to remove barnacles, caleareous Bryozoa, ete. The size of a few of the largest stones was determined by ealiper measurements and by weighing. If, as commonly happened, the sample comprised any finer in- vredients, it was sifted upon a series of screens, having circular apertures 10mm., 5mm., and 2mm. in diameter respectively. The amount of the material remaining upon each screen was weighed separately. That passing through the two-millimeter sieve was re- garded as sand, and was treated as will be described below. If this latter contained mud the two were separated according to the pro- cedure employed in general for such mixtures. Il. Sand.—When the sample consisted preponderatingly of non- muddy material, fine enough to pass through the two-millimeter sieve, it was regarded as sand. The specimen was dried, if necessary, after which it was weighed. It was then passed through the above-mentioned series of screens, to remove pebbles, shells and vegetable debris, which were separated and weighed. If an appreciable amount of mud was present in the sand, this sifting was done under water in order to prevent caking and to insure 92 University of California Publications in Zoology [Vou. 14 that all of the mud should pass through the finest screen. Each lot of material retained by the larger screens was dried and weighed. That which passed through the two-millimeter screen was used for certain further determinations. Except in the case of mud-free material, one portion was washed in order to separate the mud from the sand, another was tested for calcium carbonate. For the former operation, a small quantity, usually 10 oms., was placed in a small narrow jar, and shaken violently with a definite quantity of distilled water. After settling for a number of seconds, depending on the character of the sample, the water was siphoned off, down to a definite level, and the jar filled and shaken again. The process was repeated until the water quickly ceased to be turbid and the sediment consisted of particles over 50 microns in diameter. (This last was determined roughly by microscopic examination). The washings were saved for future studies upon the mud. The sand was dried and weighed. Two methods were employed in determining the calcium carbonate. In the case of mud-free samples, the material was weighed before and after extraction with HCl, it being assumed that the material dissolved consisted chiefly of shelly matter. In the ease of samples containing mud, a small portion (commonly 10 ems.) was taken and carefully weighed. An exactly weighed amount of HCl was added and the loss due to the escape of gas (chiefly CO.) was determined gravimetrically. The amount of calcium carbonate originally present could readily be computed from the loss of CO,, allowance being made for a certain amount of the latter which remained in solution in the liquid. Both of these methods involve a certain error, namely, the assump- tion that whatever was dissolved in hydrochloric acid, with the liberation of gas, consisted of caleium carbonate. While the error is not believed to be very great proportionally, its magnitude is not known. III. Muds.—Samples were regarded as muds which consisted predominantly of material that remained in suspension for consid- erable periods in water. (See above). Since practically all of the muds contained a certain percentage of sand, and frequently of shells and pebbles as well, the method of treatment was much the same as that already described for the sand, the only difference depending upon the smaller proportion of coarser ingredients which were en- countered. The calcium carbonate was determined by the second of the methods above deseribed. 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 93 In the case of the tube samples, sections about 10 em. lone were removed at two or more levels in these cylindrical masses of mud. One was taken at the top, another commonly at the bottom, while in most cases a third was taken from an intermediate level. This came from a point about midway between the two ends, unless features in the stratification of the deposit rendered it desirable to take the sample from another level. In a few instances four sections were removed. Each of these sections was divided longitudinally into quarters. One of these quarters was subjected to the treatment accorded to other mud samples, a second was sent to the United States Bureau of Chem- istry for the determination of nitrogen, a third was reserved for biologi- eal examination, while the fourth was retained for further possible mineralogical studies. Commonly the longer of the two tube samples taken at a given station was employed in these studies but both of them were opened and examined by Professor Louderback, notes being made by him on the original and final length?’ of the total sample, and of interesting features in its stratification. The results of these sifting and weighing operations together with the calcium carbonate determinations are presented in Appendix III. Here are given the absolute and percentage values of the particles of various sizes. In the columns headed ‘‘Gross Weight’’ these values are quite independent of the composition of the various particles. Fragments of shell have been thrown together with sand grains or pebbles of the same size. Reference to the ‘‘CaCO,”’ columns, however, shows us the absolute and relative amounts of shelly material in each grade of the screenings, so that the proportion of the inorganic particles in each may readily be obtained. For all the coarser grades (over two millimeters) the figures for “calcium carbonate’’ and shell fragments. They are, therefore, doubtless somewhat too high, since mollusean shells contain a certain percentage of the organic substance conchiolin. In old fragments, however, such as those which chiefly are found in bottom deposits, it is likely that most of this represent merely the dry weight of the shells organic matter has disappeared. 25 The first was determined by measuring the distance between the two corks, the second was the actual length of the mud after the shrinkage due to evaporation. The former figure probably exaggerated, in some eases, the orig- inal length of the sample, since the upper cork may from the first have failed to reach the surface of the mud. The dry (or partly dry) measurements are necessarily the ones considered in the tables and charts, where sections of the tube samples from various levels are designated. 94 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 The limited quantities of vegetable remains found in certain of the bottom samples have likewise been indicated in another column. These materials were sometimes more prominent than their slight (dry) weight would seem to indicate. At the upper end of the bay, in particular, drifted wood fragments were abundant in certain dredge-hauls. These were completely waterlogged and much eroded, sometimes forming veritable wooden pebbles. Other remains of land plants, perhaps also of fresh-water ones and of Zostera, occurred freely throughout the bay, though forming a scarcely appreciable fraction of the dry weight of most of the bottom samples. Marine algae seem to have contributed almost nothing to these deposits. In our table, material which passed through the two-millimeter sieve has been divided into < 9? ‘sand’’ and ‘‘mud’’. The words are evidently used in a more restricted sense here than in our field notes. ““sand,’’ in which these finer particles predominated, but which were none the less mixtures of materials of various grades of coarseness, and which com- In the latter, bottom deposits were designated as monly contained more or less mud as well. Likewise practically all of the ‘‘muds’’ contained a certain proportion of coarser ingredients. The method which we adopted for separating the mud and sand and the distinction which was drawn between the two have already been discussed (p. 92). Where the occurrence of mud is not expressly indicated in our table, it may be assumed that the material passing through our finest sieve was entirely composed of sand, or at least of non-muddy matter. Finely divided shell fragments sometimes constituted an appreciable fraction of this material. In certain eases, notably at the dredging stations 5738, 5778, 5808 and 5809, the bottom samples which were preserved for study com- prised only the finer ingredients, the stones which here abounded being too large to be included. Thus the figures given in our table do not fairly express the actual character of these bottoms. Indeed no really quantitative treatment of such deposits would be possible without making an inventory of the entire dredge-haul. This is particularly true of the deeper portions of the Golden Gate, where hundreds of pounds of large stones, with very little finer materials, were some- times brought up at one time. Lists of the larger stones, with their dimensions and weight, were prepared for two such stations, D—5845 and 5846, and some of these data have been included in the records for those stations, but no account was here taken of the finer materials. The bottom conditions in San Francisco Bay, so far as revealed 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 95 by these preliminary studies, have been represented in plates 5, 6, and 7. Plate 5 is based upon the samples taken with the dredge, together with the upper (surface) sections of the tube samples. The number of circles upon this chart, representing stations, will be found to be less than the number of stations included in the table giving the results of our analyses. While there are seventy-nine of the latter, only sixty- four of the former have been plotted. This has resulted from two causes: (1) the character of the bottom at certain of the stations is Inadequately represented in the tables, for reasons which have just been explained; (2) certain of the stations, particularly in the central region of the bay, were very close together or actually intersected one another. Thus the symbols representing the bottom character at these stations would have overlapped considerably had not some of these been omitted. In a few other cases, overlapping has been avoided by a slight shifting apart of two of the symbols. In general, the center of the circle represents the position of the station, or, in the case of a dredge-haul, the middle point of the line traversed. In these symbols, percentages by weight of the various-sized par- ticles have been indicated by the relative areas of the sectors. The finest dots designate sand (1.e., particles less than two millimeters in diameter, but coarser than mud), the next larger ones represent par- ticles two to five millimeters in diameter, the next five to ten, and the largest ones particles over ten millimeters. Mud is represented by the uniformly black areas. In constructing these sectors, no ingredient was included unless it represented three per cent or more of the total, i.e., there are no sectors of less than eleven degrees. In the report upon the biological survey of the Woods Hole region (see Sumner, Osburn, Cole, and Davis, 1913), bottom characters were represented by a similar system of circles divided into variously shaded sectors. There, however, no quantitative study was made of the various ingredients, so that the sectors did not represent per- centages. Since the adoption of the system of symbols employed in the present report, our attention has been called to another work, in which the actual proportions of the ingredients have been represented by sectors of various sizes. The system of shading does not, however, agree with that adopted here (see Hiilsen, 1912). Since calcium carbonate appeared in any or all of the screenings, the proportion of this material in a given sample plainly cannot be 96 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 represented by a single sector, comparable with the others into which the circle is divided. It has seemed a fairer procedure to represent the calcium carbonate as a smaller circle at the center of the large one and eneroaching upon the area of all the sectors.2° The area (not the diameter) of this inner circle is proportionate to the percentage of calcium carbonate in the sample. Quantities less than two per cent have not been represented in these symbols. With the calcium carbonate there has been included, as already stated the shells and shell fragments which were dried and weighed without any chemical treatment. In interpreting these symbols, it must be borne in mind that the coarser grades of stippling do not invariably represent pure gravel, but that shells and shell fragments are thus likewise designated. The size of the circle representing calcium carbonate will commonly serve as a clue to the nature of these coarser particles, however, and in any doubtful case their character can be determined by reference to the table. In plate 6 have been presented the results of the analyses of the tube specimens obtained by the use of the ‘‘Albatross’’ bottom- sampling apparatus (except at four stations, 5129 A, B, C, and D, where the Ekman apparatus was used). The stations are arranged along the (interrupted) horizontal axis from the northern end of the bay, the distances being proportional to the actual distances be- tween the stations, independently of direction. The vertical axis represents depth in centimeters. In plotting these circles the same system has been followed as that employed in the construction of the previous chart. Plate 7 represents the proportions of nitrogen at various levels in these tube samples. The areas of the circles are proportional to the percentages of nitrogen. The absolute figures will be found in Ap- pendix IV. They include all the nitrogen, however, combined.*" The method employed was that of Gunning. No extended discussion of these various conditions will be at- tempted here, partly because a more complete report upon these bottom deposits will probably be prepared within the coming year by one of the present authors, partly because we can at present discern few 26 Of course it would not be likely to encroach equally upon all of these, but such details can hardly be taken into account in constructing a diagram such as this. 27 Dr. Alsberg writes: ‘‘A few of the muds were tested for nitrates, and none were found. The nitrogen evidently occurs in organic compounds, the composition of which may vary widely. All the nitrogen was determined.’’ 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 97 features of interest which are not obvious to anyone who eares to inspect the charts. One feature of this sort is the greater proportion of mud in the upper and lower, as compared with the middle, sections of the bay. In the latter region mud is of frequent occurrence, but it contains much larger proportions of sand. A similar area was found near the opening of Carquinez Strait. Near the Golden Gate, mud gives way to fairly clean sand and gravel. On the other hand, particularly pure mud predominates in the southern end of the bay. Turning to the vertical distribution, there is in general a larger proportion of mud in the surface layers than in the intermediate and bottom ones. This law is subject, however, to many exceptions. An intermediate shell-bed, of considerable horizontal extent, was found in the lower half of the bay, throughout a region where shells are practically wanting at the surface. A conspicuous feature shown by plates 6 and 7 is the greater penetration of the apparatus, and consequent greater length of the samples, in the bottoms of fairly pure mud. In the nitrogen chart, no general principle can be discerned beyond the self-evident correlation between the amount of nitrogen and the amount of mud. Important correlations may be expected, however, between the conditions here portrayed and the distribution of various sedentary or burrowing organisms. The discovery of such facts, as well as other important ecological relations, must be left to the biolo- cists who are studying the various collections obtained in the course of this survey. 98 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 SUMMARY 1. This report discusses the methods employed in the course of a biological survey of San Francisco Bay, conducted by the United States Fisheries Steamer “‘ Albatross’’ during the years 1912 and 1913, together with the principal data derived from the hydrographic observations which were made. 2. The latter were for the most part conducted during six obser- vation periods, at approximately bimonthly intervals, throughout the course of one year. To this regular series must be added considerable supplementary work, carried on during the following year. 3. The physical factors of the environment to which attention was chiefly devoted were depth, velocity of current, temperature, salinity and character of bottom. Various caleulations have likewise been made, based upon the published records of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey and other sources. 4. The mean depth of San Francisco Bay (computed from charted soundings) is 22.7 feet (6.9 meters). Leaving out of account the Golden Gate, the greatest depth in the bay is 36 fathoms (66 meters). Throughout more than eighty per cent of its area, the depth is less than five fathoms (nine meters). 5. The volume of water, at mean low tide, has been estimated as 5,015,600 acre-feet (6,187,000,000 cubic meters). The amount of water present at mean high tide is greater than this by 1,077,600 aecre- feet. Thus, about 17.7 per cent of the water present at high tide passes out during the average ebb. 6. The mean rate of the tidal currents, based upon 142 surface observations, made at all phases of the tide, throughout the navigable parts of the bay, was found to be about 1.4 knots (nautical miles) per hour. The average figure for the ebb current readings was 1.68 knots, the average for the flood readings being 1.19 knots. The maximum figure recorded during our observations was 3.03 knots, though much swifter currents are known to occur in the Golden Gate. 7. The mean tidal range, at nine points distributed at fairly equal intervals throughout the bay (based upon Coast Survey figures) is 4.52 feet (1.38 meters). 8. The mean temperature of the entire bay, during the year covered by our observations, was 12°91 C (55°23 F). The regional means ranged from 12°01 C, the annual mean for a station near the 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 99 Golden Gate, to 13°81 C, which is that for a station in the southern arm of the bay. The highest single temperature encountered by us was 20°6 C, on July 23, 1913, in shoal water in the lower part of the bay. The lowest was 6°0 C, on January 13, 1913, in Carquinez Strait. The seasonal means varied from 8°33 C, representing the mean temperature of the entire bay in January, 1913, to 16°68 C, repre- senting the mean for the bay in July, 1912. The annual range of tem- perature for the bay as a whole was thus 8°35 C. The greatest sea- sonal range was met with at the two ends of the bay, particularly the northern, the least range being found in the vicinity of the Golden Gate. The regional range was lowest in February, when the highest and lowest temperatures recorded differed by 0°8 C. It was greatest in July, when the range was about 5° C. 9. Comparisons have been offered between the annual mean and the annual range of water temperature in San Francisco Bay with corresponding figures for two inlets of the ocean, on the opposite side of the continent. Chesapeake Bay (or the lower third of it, from which most of the records came), has about the same latitude as San Francisco Bay, while Woods Hole harbor is considerably farther north. The figures are as follows: Mean Range San Prancisco! Bayi -..-2-2...--.--- 12°91 € 8235 C @hesapealken aye sss. eee ee eee 14°38 C 22°12 € Woods Hole harbor ..............-..... 10°56 C 21250 C 10. For the Pacific Ocean in the neighborhood of San Francisco, the figures, according to Thorade (1909), are: mean, 12°86 C; range 323. Thus, it is plain that the more equable climate of the Pacific coast of the United States, as compared with that of the Atlantic coast, is associated with a much greater uniformity in the temperature of the neighboring water masses. 11. During five of the six bimonthly periods of observation, the surface temperatures, throughout San Francisco Bay, were higher than those for the bottom. In January, however, this condition was reversed, the surface temperatures being lower than the bottom ones, by an average difference of 0°2 C. 12. The mean salinity of the entire bay, during the year of our observations, was 27.48 per mille. This is a grade of concentration such as would result from a mixture of 81 per cent of ocean water and 19 per cent of river water. The regional means ranged from 100 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 15.24, the annual mean for a station in Carquinez Strait, to 31.04, the mean for a station near the Golden Gate. The salinity was found to fall steadily from the ocean to the northern end. It was likewise found to fall somewhat as we passed to the southern arm of the bay, though rising slightly at the lower end. The highest single salinity figure recorded for the bay was 33.27, on October 12, 1912, at the station nearest the Golden Gate, the lowest being 3.25, on April 23, in Carquinez Strait. (See, however, the figures for March, 1914.) The seasonal means varied from 25.23, representing the mean salinity of the entire bay in the April-May period to 30.51, represent- ing the mean for the bay in October. The regional range was lowest in January (not in October, as might have been expected), highest at the time of the April-May observations. In considering all of these figures for salinity, it must be borne in mind that both years in which the observations were made were ones of very deficient rainfall. Supplementary data, obtained after the heavy precipitation of the winter of 1913-1914, indicate that, for the spring months, at least, the figures here presented are considerably higher than the average. 13. The mean salinity figure for the surface samples was 26.77, that for the bottom samples being 28.19. This difference between surface and bottom was naturally highest where the waters of the rivers enter the bay, and lowest near the Golden Gate. 14. Contrary to expectation, the mean salinity of water samples taken during the flood phase of the tide was appreciably and pretty constantly lower than that of samples taken during the ebb phase. This seeming paradox was explained by a consideration of our method of procedure in obtaining the water samples. These were commonly obtained early in the course of a given tidal phase, and early flood water is naturally less concentrated than early ebb water. 15. Certain general relations were established between the salinity of the bay water and the recorded river flow and rainfall for the regions tributary thereto. Such relations were, however, ones which might have been predicted in advance. 16. The salinity of the local ocean water, at ten stations, from ten to twenty-six nautical miles beyond the Golden Gate, was found, during late October and early November, to be 34.04. The observa- tions were, however, made early in the rainy season and at about the period of least river flow. In the spring, the discharge of the local 1914] Sumner, et al.: Physical Conditions in San Francisco Bay 101 rivers is from ten to twenty times as great as in the fall, so that an appreciable dilution of the coastal waters might then be expected. 17. The mean salinity of San Francisco Bay, so far as we may judge from the year covered by our observations, appears to be over twice as great as that of Chesapeake Bay, while it is considerably less than that of Buzzard’s Bay, on the New England coast. 18. A physical analysis was made of bottom samples from seventy- nine stations, the proportions of ingredients of various grades of coarseness being determined. The percentage of calcium carbonate (derived nearly or quite exclusively from shells) was hkewise deter- mined for all of the samples taken, while the nitrogen content was ascertained for a selected series by the United States Bureau of Chemistry. : At twenty-seven of the stations, long cylindrical samples were taken with a special bottom-sampling apparatus devised for the pur- pose. These made possible a study of the natural stratification of the bottom. In the case of such samples, from two to four segments were analyzed separately. Few general statements can be made regarding the distribution, either horizontal or vertical, of the various types of bottom materials in San Francisco Bay, and the reader is therefore referred to the charts (plates 5, 6, 7), which depict these data.

(Ineluding stations dredged with a launch). The bearings given for the stations in this table represent the position of the vessel at the commencement of each dredge-haul, as recorded in the ship’s log. The positions of the stations, as plotted in the charts (plates 1 and 2), have, however, been more carefully verified than the recorded bearings, and if any discrepancy should be found between the two, the presumption is that the charts are correct. For greater convenience in locating these stations, they have been referred to the “‘upper,’’ ‘‘middle’’ or ‘‘lower’’ regions of the bay (see pp. 22, 23 for limits), or to the region outside the Golden Gate, where 17 dredge-hauls were made. Unless otherwise specified, the ‘‘ Albatross’? was employed in dredging at these stations; in shoal waters, however, a launch was used. The position was determined at the beginning and end of each haul, and occasionally at intervening points, the ‘‘station’’ being plotted on the chart as a line connecting two or more cireles. An arrowhead commonly indicates the direction of the haul. For the larger number of stations, the contents of the dredge or trawl repre- sented material which might have been taken throughout the whole length of this line. In the case of most stations dredged with the launch (e.g., no. 5747) this line was gone over twice in opposite directions, one form of dredge (or trawl) being used in the first haul, another in the second. Ordin- arily, the material derived from these two hauls was preserved separately, the label bearing the station number, followed by A or B, denoting the first and second hauls respectively (occasionally C, when a second repetition was made). These letters do not appear in the present table nor in the charts. They must not be confused with the letters referred to in the next paragraph. Bottom samples from these stations were derived from the dredge-hauls only. In the case of a considerable number of stations (nos. 5815, ete.), the ‘‘orange-peel bucket’’ was used at each end (‘‘A’’ and ‘‘B’’), the 5-foot ‘‘sledge-trawl’’ being hauled through the intervening dis- tance. The material from each of these stations was accordingly pre- served in three separate lots. It was our endeavor to save all of the 130 University of California Publications in Zoology [ Vou. 14 animals and animal remains from the mud-bueket hauls for quanti- tative studies. The ‘‘character of bottom’”’ given in the present table is that which was recorded after a superficial inspection of the contents of the dredge on the ship. The results of a more exhaustive examination of some of these bottom-samples will be found im Appendix ITI. There are included in this table the temperature and salinity recorded for the hydrographic station nearest in position to each of the dredging stations. This has been done in order that students of the dredging collections may be able, without searching, to find the approximate physical conditions under which a given organism lived It must be borne in mind, however, that in the case of some dredging stations the nearest hydrographic station was a mile or more distant. 131 co Bay TPAaNCIs San LONS UN t i ical Cond yst Ph or, et al.s Sum ire 1914] ‘aTtur CQ :adpeip S 4q 01488D ‘suey, “737 SG Q ‘uyuent) uBg “suey 447 tee M ot PL yBod YOUL-GT ‘[Avs, JouUB], 400J-C/T'‘OE-Z'GT! 6E'FS |O'ST-S'L | SO'ET ‘puss Appay!

The operations were directed by a board consisting of Dr. F. B. Sumner, naturalist, Professor ©. A. Kofoid, of the University of California, and Commander G. H. Bur- rage, U. S. N., succeeded by Lieutenant-Commander H. B. Soule, U.S. N. The field work began on January 30, 1912, and continued until April 7, 1913, when the last dredge haul was made. A portion of the results of this survey dealing with the physical conditions within San Francisco Bay has been published in a joint paper by Dr. F. B. Sumner, Dr. G. D. Louderback, Mr. W. L. Schmitt, and Mr. E. C. Johnston (1914). Discussions and detailed data are given regarding the temperature, salinity, depth of the water, and the character of the bottom for the various stations occupied by the “* Albatross.’’ These data serve as the basis for ecological studies now being made of the different groups of marine organisms obtained during the survey. The mollusean material obtained by the various types of dredges employed, and by shore collecting at a limited number of localities, was preserved in alcohol or formalin and shipped to the Zoological Laboratory of the University of California. The dredging material 208 University of California Publications in Zoology — | Vou. 14 was divided into two classes, herein designated the ‘‘qualitative’’ or the ‘‘quantitative,’’ depending upon whether the collection was made by one of several common types of dredges or by the orange-peel bucket dredge, which was employed here for the first time for biological purposes. The records of these quantitative hauls are included in this paper, but these data are incorporated only in part in the dis- cussions. The qualitative material has been made the basis for this paper. The mollusks from each station were identified, measured, counted, and their condition noted. The identifications have been facilitated by comparison with a typical set from the collection that had been determined by Dr. W. H. Dall and Dr. Paul Bartsch, of the United States National Museum. The maximum, minimum, and modal lengths for each species were recorded for each station. A record of the number of specimens (of the number of valves in the case of dead peleeypods) was likewise made for each species. The condition of each specimen, i.e., whether it was living at the time of dredging, or Was represented by a worn shell, was also noted. In the systematic portion of this paper no attempt has been made to give a complete synonymy for each species, but at least one refer- ence includes such a synonymy. The synonyms listed inelude the names under which the speeies was originally described and the more common ones found in the literature dealing with the region of San Francisco. Complete titles of works cited may be found in the bibhography at the end of this paper. The original descriptions of the species are quoted whenever it seemed practicable. For those that were originally described in a foreign language, a subsequent deseription by an author who has given a concise diagnosis of the form in English is used. The dimen- sions given are the minimum and maximum length of all the specimens of the species which were obtained by the Survey. The italicized type in the parentheses following the number of the dredging station indicates the number of living specimens of the species obtained at that station, while the arabic number indicates the number of valves, in the ease of peleeypods, or the number of specimens of other mollusks that were dead at the time of dredging. This catalogue of species includes the forms taken by the Survey and those that have been reported from San Francisco and vicinity by other workers. Zittel’s Textbook of Palaeontology, 1912, Eastman translation, has been used primarily for the classification employed. 1918 | Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 209 The asterisk following a station number indicates that a part or all of the specimens of the designated species from that station were determined by Dr. Dall; the dagger indicates those that were deter- mined by Dr. Bartsch. The known range of the species along the coast has either been compiled or has been taken directly from an author to whom eredit has been duly given. The recent paper by Dall (1916a) has been made the basis of the range of the Pelecypoda. The range of the Gastropoda is as yet less well known. Charts have been prepared showing the local distribution of eight- een of the more common species. Localities at which a particular species was taken alive are indicated on an outline map of San Fran- cisco Bay by a dot, while those at which only shells were taken are indicated by a circle. The illustrations of the species are reproduced from photographs taken by Mr. H. Hollinger and retouched by Mrs. Louise Nash. In a few instances specimens from near-by localities have been substituted for the poor ones represented in the collection of the Survey. Such cases are noted in the explanation of the plates. This study has been pursued under the direction of Professor Charles A. Kofoid, to whom the writer is greatly indebted for many suggestions and eriticisms. Gratitude is due Dr. Francis B. Sumner for his criticisms of the paper and for valuable assistance given during the progress of the work. The author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Dr. William H. Dall, who has reviewed the manu- script, and who together with Dr. Paul Bartsch has determined speci- mens representing nearly the complete fauna. Mr. Waldo L. Schmitt and Mr. Edward C. Johnston as naturalists on the ‘‘ Albatross’’ have assisted the writer In many ways. REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE The conchological literature contains many references to San Fran- cisco Bay and immediate vicinity, scattered through foreign and American papers. A number of exploring expeditions entered the bay of San Francisco in the early part of the last century. Their biological collections were often studied in Europe, and consequently a considerable number of our local mollusks has been deseribed by foreign authors. These early papers were carefully reviewed by Philip P. Carpenter (1856a) in a paper entitled, ‘‘Report of the present state of knowl- 210 University of California Publications in Zoology (Vou. 14 edge with regard to the mollusea of the West Coast of North America.”’ Seven years later (1863) a second paper appeared under the title, ‘Supplementary report on the present state of our knowledge with regard to the mollusks of the West Coast of North America.’’ In these papers a number of preliminary descriptions of mollusean species were given. The detailed descriptions were subsequently published in various scientific publications, of which the Proceedings of the Zoo- logical Society of London is perhaps the most important. Frequent reference to San Francisco is made in these papers in connection with the ranges of certain species, but any comprehensive faunal survey of this region is lacking. The lst of more recent conchological papers dealing with the Californian region is a long one. With a few exceptions their con- tributions to the conchology of San Francisco Bay and vicinity have been made rather incidental to considerations other than that of making a faunal survey of this region. The more important of such contributors are: Cooper, Stearns, Tryon, Pilsbry, Dall, Keep, Ray- mond, Wood, Arnold, Berry, Bartsch, Clark, and Oreutt. Recog- nition of the contributions of these, as well as of many others, is noted in the systematic portion of this paper. Two articles have been published in which lists of the local fauna are given. The first of these, by Wood and Raymond, appeared in 1891 under the title, ‘‘Mollusks of San Francisco County,’’ together with a supplementary note (Wood, 1891) entitled, *‘ Additional mol- lusks of San Francisco Bay.’’ These papers give the marine and land forms collected by the authors within the region designated. The second paper (Blankinship and Keeler, 1892), although not devoted primarily to conchology, as might be inferred from the title, ‘‘On the natural history of the Farallon Islands,’’ is of interest since it con- tains a list of a number of marine mollusks compiled by Dr. J. C. Cooper. ENVIRONMENT OF THE MOLLUSCAN FAUNA San Francisco Bay Physical—tThe physical and biological environments found within the waters of San Francisco Bay will be discussed briefly before the fauna is considered, so that certain peculiarities of mollusean distri- bution may be more easily interpreted. The data upon which the following discussion is based are taken from the comprehensive paper 1918] Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 211 entitled, ‘‘A report upon the physical conditions in San Francisco Bay, based upon the operations of the United States Fisheries’ Steamer ‘ Albatross’ during the years 1912 and 1913,’’ by F. B’ Sum- ner, G. D. Louderback, W. L. Schmitt, and E. C. Johnston (1914). San Francisco Bay is ‘‘an irregular body of water surrounded by marshes and prolonged into estuaries . . . extending from the mouth of Sonoma Creek at the extreme northern end to the mouth of the so-called ‘Coyote River’ at the extreme southern.’’ As thus defined it includes San Pablo Bay. It has a length of 52 statute miles and a maximum width of 11.5 miles and an estimated area of 400 square miles. The Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers empty into the upper part of- San Francisco Bay through Carquinez Strait. There are several small streams, most of which are intermittent, that contribute considerable volumes of water to the bay during the rainy season. The total discharge of these streams affects the temperature and salinity of the waters of the bay, besides bringing in sediments that are in part deposited within San Francisco Bay. The depth of San Francisco Bay ranges up to 63 fathoms encoun- tered in the narrower portion of Golden Gate. It has been shown by Sumner et al. (p. 21) that only 18.4 per cent of the total area of the bay has a depth greater than 5 fathoms. The mean depth has been computed to be 22.7 feet. The deeper waters are found in the middle division of the bay within the Golden Gate and in Raccoon Strait just north of Angel Island. The deeper waters of the upper and lower divisions of the bay are confined to narrow central channels. It may be well to define here the divisions of the bay since these terms will appear frequently throughout the paper. Sumner ef al. (1914, p. 22) recognize three divisions of San Francisco Bay. The , ‘“apper’’ one includes San Pablo Bay; the ‘‘middle’’ one extends from a line passing through the points of San Pedro and San Pablo to a line drawn from the Ferry Building to the Goat Island Light ; the third or ‘‘lower’’ division lies to the south of this latter line. The mean tidal range for the entire bay throughout the month is given as 4.52 feet. The actual extremes during the course of the year are much greater, ranging from 0.4 to 7.8 feet at Fort Point within the Golden Gate. The rate of the tidal currents was determined for a number of localities to be about 1.4 knots per hour at a distance of a few feet below the surface. It was estimated that the mean rate of water flow 212 University of California Publications in Zoology | Vou. 14 over the entire bottom was between 0.67 and 0.75 knots per hour. In Golden Gate and Raccoon Strait the currents are strong enough to scour the bottom, leaving only the coarser sediments. The mean annual temperature for the entire bay is 12°91C. The highest recorded temperature is 20°6C and the lowest is 6°C. The highest of the regional means for the year was obtained in the lower division of the bay and the lowest in the middle segment. A seasonal range of 12°65C occurs in the northern end of the bay, decreasing to 4°92C at the Golden Gate and rising to 11°18C at the southern end. These extremes of temperature are perhaps of less importance in determining the distribution of marine organisms than are those pre- vailing at the times of the year that coimecide with the reproductive periods of the different species. In the above-mentioned report it has been shown that there are considerable seasonal variations in the temperatures within the dif- ferent regions of the bay. During February the temperatures are quite uniform for the entire bay, being at that time lower than are those of the ocean outside the Golden Gate. During the latter part of April and early May the waters at either end of the bay are warmer than in February, whereas those of the middle division are colder than they are at the earlier period. At the next period, the latter part of July, a rise of temperature is noted, the Golden Gate remaining the coolest region of the bay. During this period the temperature of the bay is higher than that of the ocean off San Francisco. In the early part of October a general decrease in the temperature is evident, and at this period, as well as in the early part of May, the oceanic temper- atures are nearly the same as those of the bay. In late November a general uniformity of temperatures somewhat lower than those of the open ocean prevails throughout the bay. The lowest temperatures of the year occur in January, at which time the waters of the middle division are the warmest, while those of San Pablo Bay are the coldest. Both during this month and in February the waters of the bay are colder than are those of the ocean. From the standpoint of the mollusk, these temperatures may not be as Important as are the bottom temperatures. Yet it is not im- probable that the temperature of a higher stratum is more significant in determining the distribution of the mollusk, for it is in the higher stratum that the larval stages are generally passed. The annual range of the bottom temperature for the entire bay is 8°35C. The bottom and surface temperatures are more nearly alike in the winter than in the summer. 1918] Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay Zales The salinity of San Francisco Bay ranges from 3.25 to 33.27 per mille. The mean for the entire bay for the year was found to be 27.48. The regional annual mean is less than 16 per mille in Car- quinez Strait, while it reaches as high as 31 just within the Golden Gate. As might be expected, the seasonal range is greatest in San Pablo Bay, which receives the discharge of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, reaching a minimum at the Golden Gate and increasing but shghtly toward the lower end of the bay. The seasonal minimum mean salinity for the entire bay oceurs in April and May and the maximum in October, according in general with the high and low water stages of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. The bottom salinity for the entire bay is greater than the mean surface salinity throughout the year, the difference between the two being greater during April and May, when the surface salinity is the lowest for the year. An examination of the bottom conditions of the bay reveals a diversified character such as might be expected by one familiar with the geographic features of this region. Materials ranging from large angular stones to fine muds are represented. San Pablo Bay is muddy except for a small area at the lower end of Carquinez Strait. Mud occurs also in local areas within the middle division, but in the deeper water explored by the Survey the bottom is arenaceous. The bottom within the Golden Gate is composed in the main of sand and gravel, but in places the currents are so strong that they prevent the accum- ulation of little except gravel. The lower division of the bay is pre- dominantly muddy. At some localities within the lower and middle segments the bottom appears to be paved with shells of Ostrea lurida and Mya arenaria. The distribution of the different types of bottoms is admirably shown by Sumner et al. (pl. 5). Chemical analyses have been made of bottom samples from a number of stations. They show that the percentage of free or com- bined nitrogen is higher in the upper and lower divisions of the bay. Biological—tThe different biological environments under which the mollusks of San Francisco Bay are living cannot be definitely de- scribed. The materials obtained by the operations of the ‘‘ Albatross” are now being studied by specialists. When the different reports are completed it may be possible to recognize certain relationships be- tween the distribution of some of the mollusks and that of other groups of animals or plants. The relative abundance of the plankton, which probably serves as the most important food supply of the peleeypods, 214 University of California Publications in Zoology | Vou. 14 undoubtedly varies somewhat within the different regions of the bay. Recent studies made by Mr. E. P. Rankin show that the number of species and individuals of diatoms decreases as one passes from the middle to the upper division of the bay. If these data were plotted, relationships of some of the bivalves to distribution might be expected, unless everywhere within the bay the plankton is present in quantities above the requirements of the mollusks. The latter is likely to be the case, since Professor Kofoid’s studies show that the plankton of the bay is relatively rich. For the predatory gastropods the optimum habitat is, of course, determined by the presence of their. prey. Thus the distribution pat- terns of Urosalpinx and Ilyanassa are similar to those of the native and eastern oysters. THE OPEN OCEAN The investigations of the ‘‘ Albatross’’ outside the Golden Gate were confined, during this Survey, to the waters lying between the San Francisco Peninsula and the Farallon Islands, with the exception of a single bottom sample taken west of the Farallones. Excepting this latter locality, the water ranged in depth from 81% to 68 fathoms. Just outside the Golden Gate is a shoal, known as the ‘‘Bar,’’ upon which depths of only 5 fathoms are encountered at a distance of five miles offshore. The annual mean temperature for the ocean off San Francisco is given by Sumner et al. (1914, p. 52) as 12°86C. The.range for the years is about 3°C, the lowest temperatures occurring in April and the highest in October. The mean annual salinity for the offshore stations is 34.04 per mille. No attempt has been made to make a detailed investigation of the character of the offshore bottom. The field descriptions of the samples obtained from each dredge haul indicate that the bottom is predomi- nantly of a dark greenish sand. GENERAL CHARACTER OF THE FAUNA The mollusean fauna taken by the Biological Survey within San Francisco Bay and adjacent waters comprises 112 species and 2 varieties. These are distributed among 3 classes representing 49 families and 78 genera. A little over 50 per cent are bivalves. The gastropods are represented by 47 species and 1 variety, the seapho- pods by 2 species, and the chitons by 6 species and 1 variety. 1918] Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 215 This number of species and varieties obtained by the Survey in- cludes only about 65 per cent of the known mollusean fauna of these waters. The catalogue of species (p. 245) contains 173 species and 13 varieties that have been collected by the Survey, or previously re- ported from San Francisco Bay, San Francisco County, or the Far- allon Islands. It is probable that the marine fauna is still larger, for there is a considerable number of species that are known to occur both north and south of this region. The following lst as compiled includes 118 such species which may be found in the vicinity of San Francisco.

This long list will probably be modified as the different faunas are studied more intensely. However, it suffices to show that the known fauna of this region is considerably less than the actual fauna. The diserepaney between the number of known forms and the number obtained by the Survey is due in part to the faet that little attention was given to shore collecting. Mollusks were obtained, however, at the following shore stations: Bonita Point, Sausalito, Fort Point, Key Route Pier (Oakland), Point Richmond, Red Rock, and MeNear’s Landing. In the discussions that follow only the material obtained by the Survey will be considered unless the contrary is stated. As a matter of convenience the fauna obtained in the open ocean off the Golden Gate will be designated as the ‘‘outside’’ fauna in contrast to the ““bay’’ fauna. 1918] Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 217 The outside fauna consists of 62 (+ 62) species, of which 34 are pelecypods, 32 are gastropods, and 2 are scaphopods. Forty-six per cent of this fauna was not obtained within San Francisco Bay. This great difference between the two faunas is not due to depth, but pre- sumably to other factors, such as decreased salinity, fluctuating tem- peratures, and varied bottom conditions peculiar to partially enclosed waters. The mollusks that are restricted in our records to the ocean off San Francisco are indicated in the following list of the outside fauna by an asterisk.

This proportion is greater by 12 per cent than obtains within the bay. A consideration of the entire known fauna as catalogued below shows that the univalves exceed the bivalves by about 4 per cent. It is not evident why the proportion of gastro- pods should be greater in the outside than in the bay fauna. The waters outside the Golden Gate are more favorable to a varied mollusean life than are those within San Francisco Bay. This is shown by the greater average number of species per station than ob- tains in any of the regions of the bay. The most productive station, as far as species are concerned, is D 5789, only a short distance south- east of the Farallon Islands. This station yielded 25 species of mol- lusks that were represented by living specimens. This is more than twice the number (12) taken at a single station within the bay. The record of this most productive outside station is given below (table 1).

This is not the average per dredge haul, for in the majority of cases two hauls were made at a station. Unfortunately the author’s records do not give the requisite data upon which to base the more accurate average. This number is twice as great as the same average for the entire bay and over three times as great as obtains in the upper division of the bay, where conditions are least favorable to a varied mollusean life. The relative abundance of mollusks in the different regions may be approximated by taking the average number of lying specimens per station. In the list given above of station D 5789, 368 living specimens were recorded. These were obtained by dragging a 12-foot Agassiz trawl a distance of one mile and then covering the same course with a 19-inch boat dredge. It is not presumed that this number of living specimens could be considered as representing all of the indi- viduals living within the area covered by the dredging operations. However, the average of a number of such stations gives a figure that has a comparative significance. When the number of living specimens only are considered it is found that the average per station for the region outside the Golden Gate is 74.4. This is but little larger than that for the lower division of the bay (70), but it is about three times as large as that for the upper division (26.3). : When these figures are compared with the average number per > dredge haul for the ‘‘quantitative’’ stations of any two of these regions, different ratios are obtained. The average number of living individuals per haul (orange-peel bucket dredge) for the upper divi- sion of the bay is 4, while that for the lower is 27.9. This ratio is only about one-half of that obtained above. Obviously these quantitative results are the more accurate since they are based upon the actual numbers of mollusks living upon equal areas. Thus it appears that the figures obtained by the first method can give only a very general idea of the relative abundance of the mollusks hying within a given area. The fauna from San Francisco Bay comprises 81 species and varie- ties, 43 of which are pelecypods, 31 gastropods, and 7 chitons. In the list of the bay fauna given below those species that were taken exclu- sively within the bay are followed by an asterisk. Fifty-nine per cent of the species listed below were taken exclu- sively within San Francisco Bay. This percentage would be some- what decreased had collections been made along the lttoral outside 220 University of California Publications in Zoology (Vou. 14 the Golden Gate. Nevertheless the relatively small percentage of forms common to the two contiguous regions is noteworthy. A number of the forms listed below were rarely taken. Such species obviously have little significance in such a study. Therefore it has seemed ad- vantageous to prepare a list of the more common species.

Localities at which a particular species was taken alive are indicated on the plates (42-55) by a dot, while those at which only shells were taken are indicated by a cirele. These charts show at a glance the approximate ranges of the species within the bay. It will be noted that the distribution patterns differ quite widely. The most productive station within San Francisco Bay from the standpoint of the number of species is D 5796, situated north of Angel Island within Raccoon Strait. The species listed on the following page were obtained at this locality. This list is not entirely comparable to that given in table 1 of the most productive outside station, for the largest number of deter- mined species and the largest number represented by living specimens were not here obtained at the same station. At D 5781 twelve different living specimens were dredged. A study of the ranges of the known fauna as listed in the catalogue of species gives some suggestion as to the position of the fauna in relation to climatie zones. One hundred and twenty-nine species and 222 University of California Publications in Zoology | Vou. 14 varieties are known to range north of San Francisco, whereas 154 oceur south of that place. These figures are of less value in deter- mining the relationships of the fauna to other West Coast faunas than are those derived according to a method used by Sumner et al. (1911, p. 184). Those authors compare the number of *‘ predominantly north- ward ranging’’ species with the number of southward ranging forms. They define ‘‘predominately northward ranging’’ species as one, ‘‘whose range (in latitude) to the northward on our coast is at least twice as great as is its range to the southward.’’ Applying this method to our fauna as catalogued gives 77 species as predominantly northward ranging ; 55 as predominantly southward ranging ; 37 whose known ranges are nearly equal to the north and south of San Fran- cisco; 14 which are known only from San Francisco, and 11 species that cannot properly be classified, since their ranges are imperfectly known. This indicates, if the faunas north and south of San Francisco are about equally well known, that the local fauna has closer affinities with the northern fauna than with that to the south. Two new species of mollusks have been discovered as a result of the dredging operations of the ‘‘Albatross.’? They have been de- seribed by Dr. Bartsch under the names of Odostoma franciscana and Turbonilla franciscana. The mollusean fauna of this region includes several exotic species, most of which have inadvertently been introduced with young oysters TABLE 3 ReEcorD OF THE Most Propuctive BAy Station (D 5796) No. of living No. of specimens shells (Car dim COND IS) eee co cen eee 17 18 Columibellay ran sap arta sere cseeetee ees. 0 5 Mya californica ............

One of these, Arca transversa Say, has not heretofore been reported from the West. It is represented in the Survey collections by a number of old valves. Living specimens have not as yet been taken, so it is not certain that this common Atlantic form is now living within San Francisco Bay. Australiwm triumphans Philippi was dredged alive just outside the Golden Gate. Although the locality hes within the course of oceanic traffic, the probabilities are against the dredging of a single specimen that may have been carried across the Pacifie and then dropped from the bottom of the ship. If this species is exotic, it presumably has established itself within these waters. The eastern oyster, Ostrea elongata Solander, more generally known as O. virginica, is grown within San Francisco Bay. It does not reproduce, at least sufficiently for economic pur- poses, So young oysters are introduced from the east to replenish the beds, depleted by the annual harvest. Mya arenaria Linnaeus, the ‘soft shelled’’ or ‘‘mud clam,’’ is thought to be exotic. It is not known to be cireumpolar in distribution and does not occur native in Puget Sound. That it is not indigenous to San Francisco Bay ap- pears to be indicated by the lack of shells of this edible clam in the undisturbed Indian shell mounds that occur in the vicinity of the bay. Urosalpine cinereus Stimpson was first noted by Stearns (1894, p. 94). Tt is now abundant in the lower division of the bay in the vicinity of Point San Mateo, where it plays havoe with the oysters. Another predatory gastropod, Ilyanassa obsoleta Say, first appeared in 1909, according to Keep (1911). As yet it is confined to the southern part of the bay, where it is associated with the preceding species. Modiolus demissus (Dillwyn), another eastern form, was first reported by Stearns in 1899. It has now established itself in these waters, and it is oceasionally found in the San Francisco markets. The venerid, Gemma gemma var. purpura Lea, known here since 1899, now occurs in great numbers within the shallow waters along the southeastern shores of the bay. The tubular bottom samples have revealed the fact that conditions have not been equally favorable to mollusecan life during different periods of time. Sumner et al. (1914, pl. 6) have shown that in cer- tain regions of the bay, notably south of Hunters Point, in the lower division, the stratified samples contain layers of shell, covered by a superficial deposit of nearly pure mud. Of the ten sections shown in diagram for the region south of that point only one (H 5300) is rep- resented as having an appreciable amount of calcium carbonate (shell) Rock numbers* Dimensions in inches Weight in pounds —......... Entodesma saxicola Zirfaea gabbi .... 224 University of California Publications in Zoology — [Vou. 14 at the surface, while nine of them show considerable percentages of lime at depths from 40 to 140 centimeters. In the other divisions of the bay the tubular samples are, with a very few exceptions, nearly uniform in respect to the lime content from the top to the bottom. In the lower extremity of the bay five of the ten sections show shells only in the middle portion of the sample, indicating a change from an unfavorable to a favorable and then back again to a comparatively un- favorable environment for the mollusks. At two of the five remaining stations the sampling apparatus did not penetrate to the shell horizon, which appears to be quite extensive in that region. The reason for such fluctuating conditions is not evident. Were it not for the bottom stratum of relatively limeless mud the present unfavorable conditions might be attributed to some factor introduced as a result of the proximity of the cities of San Francisco, Oakland, and Alameda. These changes may be due to the variations in the silting up of the basin of deposition, whereby during certain periods deposition proceeded at too rapid a rate to favor abundant mollusean life. Such variations in sedimentation might be expected as a result of local diastrophic movements, such as are indicated by changes of level registered by the Indian shell mounds around the bay.

Dall in a personal communeation states that ‘‘the changes (diminution) of the fauna (molluscan) since my first dredgings in 1865 are notorious among local collectors.”’ The dredging of pholadid specimens at unusual depths within the Golden Gate leads to a special investigation with the view of deter- mining the bathymetric range of these forms. Dredge hauls were made with the oyster dredge at stations D 5845 and D 5846 within the outer portion of the Golden Gate. A number of boulders repre- senting a variety of rock types were obtained. The rocks that had been bored by mollusks were measured, weighed, and then broken in order to obtain the enclosed mollusks. Rocks number 1 and 7 were serpentine, number 16 being a gray schist. The remainder of the rocks that had been bored were sandstone or shale, presumably of Franciscan Jurassic age, such as occur along the shores of the Golden Gate. Within old pholadid borings were found a number of molluscan species, several of which are not commonly considered as nestlers, These included Zirfaca gabbi, Macoma inquinata, Ostrea lurida, and Hinnites giganteus. The last species was found in a large pholadid boring, in which it had become imprisoned and to which it had at- tempted to conform but eventually had been killed by its restricted quarters. The fauna from the different rocks is given in the accompanying table (4), together with the rough dimensions and weights of each boulder. Living pholads were obtained in rocks number 6 and 10 at a depth of 59 fathoms. The boulders from which these specimens were taken are too large and too irregular to have been moved from shallower water during the life of the mollusk. This occurrence indicates a bathymetric range for these borers considerably greater than is gen- erally attributed to them, especially by geologists who commonly employ them as indicators of ancient strand lines. Even these figures do not represent the maximum range for members of the family, since Dall informs the writer that a specimen has been taken from a depth of 1270 fathoms. 226 University of California Publications in Zoology — [Vou. 14 DISTRIBUTION OF THE MOLLUSKS GENERAL DISTRIBUTION Our knowledge of the benthos is largely derived from various types of dredgings. Under the ordinary methods a dredge is hauled along the bottom for a distance often measured in miles. Obviously such a haul may traverse a diversified bottom and the fauna from several types of bottoms becomes mixed. Such a commingling has to some extent been minimized in this survey by making the dredge hauls in the majority of cases less than a mile in length. The different environmental conditions of San Francisco Bay are now accurately known from the published analyses of the bottom samples and the other hydrographic data obtained by the Survey. A system of dredging that offers greater possibilities for biological purposes has been employed by Peterson (1914, p. 5) within the Cattegat, and still another by Sumner in this Survey, whereby a numerical census of the life of a small area was obtained. The orange- peel bucket dredge (see Sumner et al., 1914, p. 7) had not previously been used for biological work. It is evident that ‘‘its chief advantage hes in the taking of comparatively large masses of mud from a single spot, and particularly in the penetrating power of the apparatus, which renders possible the capture of deeply burrowing annelids, lamellibranchs, ete.’’ The results of this phase of the Survey are summarized below. The occurrences of the species taken by means of this dredge are given in the eatalogue of species, and these data have been used in the plotting of the distribution charts (pls. 42-59). In order to analyze the environment of a species, it is necessary to consider the factors that in any way might react with the organism, causing it during its own life or during a number of generations to better adapt itself to its surroundings. From the standpoint of the Mollusea, these factors are numerous and little understood. The ecol- ogist is generally unable to trace the processes of adjustment of a species to its environment as the palaeontologist apparently can do from a study of successive horizons. He must, therefore, content him- self with observations upon the degree of perfection of the adjustment between the animal and its environment at a definite period of time. If a bivalve is modified, for instance, according to one biological theory, as a result of the impact of its environment or through selective 1918 | Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 227 processes for successive generations, there should be a definite relation- ship between its structures and certain factors in its optimum habitat. Such codrdinations as these ought to be revealed through a detailed study of the distribution of the animal. But such adjustments of the organism to habitat might vary according to what has been termed the plasticity of species toward changes, and, in addition, to other causes, according to the length of time in which the species has been subjected to the present conditions. Not all of the species listed in this paper are specifically of the same age, as is indicated by their palaeontologic histories. Therefore it is improbable that all of them, or even a majority of them, have become specialized in the same de- gree. Thus all would not be so nearly adjusted to a particular habitat that their spatial distribution would be a function of any one type of environment. It is quite unlikely, then, that the distribution pat- terns, such as shown on plates 42 to 59, of all of the species could be interpreted with the same facility. On the other hand, it is not sur- prising to note that certain species have become, for some reason, so specialized that they now appear to be distributed according to one or more factors of their environment. Of course, certain other hy- potheses bearing upon speciation and dispersal would not all yield these conclusions. The separation of a single factor from the diversified environment and the determination of its effects upon an organism is attended with difficulties even to the biologist who ean bring his subjects into the laboratory under controlled conditions. The student of marine Mol- lusea seldom controls the environments with which he deals. His conclusions as to the importance of a factor are obtained by indirect methods. They involve the elimination of certain important factors and the studying of the effects of those that remain. Some of these factors governing distribution are: the depth of the water; temperature; salinity; character of the bottom; the food sup- ply, and other biological factors, including organisms which may not be beneficial to the species under consideration. INFLUENCE OF DEPTH The influence of depth upon a marine organism is a result of the interaction of several factors, including pressure, temperature, lght, aecess to food supply, and gaseous content of the water. The pressure at the deepest part of the Golden Gate exceeds that of ten atmospheres. It is improbable that this interferes greatly with the molluscan life, 228 University of California Publications in Zoology (Vou. 14 for not only does the intertidal species Coluwmbella gausapata live under such conditions but Nassa perpinguis, another shallow water form, was dredged from a depth twelve times as great at the station west of the Farallon Islands. Temperature in general decreases with depth, but within the comparatively shallow waters of San Francisco Bay other factors interfere in such a way as to cause the average mean bottom temperature during a portion of the year to exceed that of the surface by 0°2C. Light penetrates oceanic waters to a depth of about 100 fathoms sufficiently to assist in the metabolism of plants. The components of sunlight do not all reach such depths. Some, like the red rays, are thought to be effective but little below 7 fathoms, while the blue and green rays extend to much greater depths. Engelmann (1883) and others maintain that the quality of light determines the distribution of green, brown, and red algae. Light becomes a factor in determining the distribution in depth of any mollusk living directly or indirectly upon a particular type of algae. However, lack of data regarding the distribution of the algae within the loeal waters prevents the further consideration of this matter. Dissolved gases play a conspicuous réle in the life of the benthos. The amount of gas held in solution in sea water is in a large measure a function of the pressure. Tidal currents, of course, prevent the stagnation of any considerable portion of a water body. As a result of such movements of the water an essential gas, as oxygen, becomes distributed even within the depths. In the same manner a harmful vas such as hydrogen sulphide, generated from the decay of organic matter, is prevented from accumulating. Although we have no direct evidence, it is probable that the mean rate of water-flow over the bottom of the bay, as computed by Sumner ef al. (1914, p. 28), is sufficiently high, so that neither the lack of oxygen nor the excess of a harmful gas has much significance to the mollusk living within San Francisco Bay, except locally near the mouths of sewers. Three bathymetric zones are recognized within the region covered by this report. They are the littoral, or intertidal, the laminarian, including practically all of the ‘‘Albatross’’ dredging stations, and the deep water zone represented by a single haul made in 815 fathoms off the continental shelf west of the Farallon Islands. The littoral zone of San Francisco Bay varies considerably as to physical conditions. The narrow, rocky benches bordering a portion of the Golden Gate and many of the islands of the bay, contrast 1918 | Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 229 strongly with the wide mud flats in the vicinity of the estuaries and in front of the lowlands. These areas are subject to the same extremes of temperature as the adjacent land, whenever the tide is out. The life at one time may be bathed in fresh water and at another covered by salt water. Unfortunately these factors have not been investigated by this Survey. There has been no attempt to make a complete biological survey of the intertidal region, although it covers 13.6 per cent of the bay (Sumner ef al., 1914, p. 20). The collecting stations mentioned above were for the most part on rocky shores. A notable exception to this is the Key Route Pier (Oakland) locality, where specimens were taken from the piles and the mud flats near by. Along the rocky shores at the high-tide mark the two species of Littorina and the various mem- bers of the Acmaeidae are the most conspicuous mollusks. Those localities, as in the ease of the flats bordering the marsh lands, are lacking in suitable objects for support, and abound in specimens of Cerithidea californica. Farther down the beach, near the low tide mark, several of the burrowing clams occur in the sandy or muddy localities, while Thais and the chitons occupy a similar position on the rocky beaches. The following species were taken by the Survey only at the shore stations: Acmaca patina, Lacuna unifasciata, Littorina planaxis, Mopalia kennerlyi var. swani, Saxicava pholadis, Tegula funebrale, Toncella lineata, Trachydermon dentiens, and T. raymondi. It is probable that these species are not restricted to the littoral zone, but that they represent a few of the more characteristic forms of that region. The fauna of the littoral, of course, includes a considerable number of species that range into the adlittoral zone. The laminarian zone, within San Francisco Bay, is not divisible into definite subzones upon the basis of the mollusean life. However, it is of interest to note a few of the species that were dredged exclu- sively in the shallower portion of the bay. In no ease is it possible to state that the depth factor is responsible for this apparent distri- bution. An area equal to about three-fourths that of the entire bay is comprised within the limits of the low-tide mark and that of the six fathom line. Out of the 47 species that were taken by the Survey at depths ranging from 0 to 6 fathoms, only five were restricted to that depth. These are: Anomia peruviana, Arca transversa, Calliostoma cossatum, Margarites pulloides, and Murex interfossa. All of these were rarely dredged, so in their records have little significance. 230 University of California Publications in Zoology — [Vou. 14 About forty species were taken at depths ranging from 6 to 16 fathoms. None of them obtained exclusively within that depth was dredged at more than one station. Thus there appears also in this case to be no definite relationship between distribution and depth of water. Highty-three species and varieties were dredged at depths between 16 and 68 fathoms. About 50 per cent of these forms were taken by the Survey exclusively at these depths. Since nearly 50 per cent of these restricted species are listed only from the outside fauna, it 1s probable that some other factor besides depth is the con- trolling one. The deep water fauna is represented by the following species: Columbella gausapata, Epitonium ef. hindsi, Leda hamata, Nassa perpingwis, and Pandora filosa. They were obtained by means of the “* Albatross’’ bottom sampling apparatus in 815 fathoms of water west of the Farallon Islands. As will be noted, two of these species have been listed from shallow water. It is evident that the three bathymetric zones represented within the waters covered by this report can not be divided into distinet sub- zones upon the basis of the presence or absence of certain mollusks. The very few species that according to our records are restricted to the particular depths considered above were either rarely dredged or had a distribution such as to suggest that some other factor besides depth was more important. It is not unlikely, however, that detailed quantitative studies would show that the relative abundance of indi- viduals of a given species varies with depth, from a maximum which would give a clew to the optimum depth for the species under consid- eration. With such data available it might be possible to recognize several bathymetric zones. INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE Temperature has long been recognized as a factor in determining the distribution of marine organisms, but the manner in which it operates in restricting the range of the life of the benthos is a much disputed point. It appears probable that no one principle is equally applicable in even a majority of cases. The northward and south- ward ranges of mollusks are no doubt determined in some way by the temperatures of the waters in which they live. Unfavorable temper- atures may react upon the mollusk so as to interfere with its repro- ductive activities or to hinder the development of its larvae. 1918] Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 231 The reproductive periods of a comparatively few mollusks are known and none that belong to this fauna are known to the writer. Unfortunately little information is obtainable from the operations of the ‘‘ Albatross,’’ for dredge hauls were not made between the dates of May 28 and October 15. None of the specimens collected at other times was examined with this in view. The reproductive period of Macoma nasuta, one of the most common bivalves, extends over a considerable portion of the year. This seems to follow from the fact that a number of living specimens less than ten millimeters in length were dredged during the months of January to May and again in October. It is presumed by Sumner ef al. (1911, p. 178) that a considerable proportion of the marine invertebrates of Woods Hole reproduce in the winter. It is possible that the same statement would hold for the region of San Francisco, especially since the winter temperatures are much higher in these local waters. If the majority reproduce in the spring and summer, and if the low temperatures interfere with the reproductive functions and early development of the mollusk, the temperature factor should be recognized through a consideration of the distribution of the predominantly southward ranging species. In the following lists the predominately northward and southward ranging species are given for reference. PREDOMINANTLY NORTHWARD RANGING SPECIES TAKEN BY THE ‘‘ ALBATROSS’’ Acila castrensis Macoma balthica Acmaea patina Macoma inquinata Acmaea persona Macoma nasuta Adula stylina Macoma yoldiformis Amphissa corrugata Mangilia pupilla Calliostomia costatum Marcia subdiaphana Cardium corbis Melanella micans Cardium centifilosum Monia macroschisma Chrysodomus tabulatus Mopalia ciliata Cuspidaria californica Columbella gausapata Dentalium indianorum Entodesma saxicola Fissuridea aspera Hinnites giganteus Ischnochiton dentiens Kellia laperousi Lacuna porrecta Littorina planaxis Littorina scutulata Lyonsia californica Mopalia muscosa Mopalia wossenssenski Murex interfossa Murex lurida Mya arenaria Mya californica Mytilus edulis Mytilus ecalifornicus Nucula tenuis Nassa mendica Ostrea lurida Pandora filosa 232 University of California Publications in Zoology — [Vou. 14 Paphia staminea Saxicava pholadis Paphia tenerrima Schizothaerus nuttalli Petricola carditoides Siliqua nuttalli Phacoides annulatus Tegula funebrale Phacoides tenuisculptus Tellina salmonea Pholadidea penita Thais lamellosa Pholadidea ovoidea Thyasria gouldi Polinices lewisi Trachydermon raymondi Psephidia ovalis Turris incisa Saxidomus nuttalli Yoldia encifera Saxicava arctica Zirfaea gabbi PREDOMINANTLY SOUTHWARD RANGING SPECIES TAKE BY THE ‘‘ ALBATROSS’’ Acteocina cerealis Leda taphria Actaeon punctocoelatus Leda hamata Anomia peruviana Modiolus politus Barleeia subtenuis Modiolus rectus Bathytoma carpenteriana Nassa perpinguis Bittium subplanatum Olivella intorta Cancellaria crawfordiana Pecten latiauritus Epitonium hindsi Polinices draconis Epitonium sawinae Turbonilla keepi Lasea rubra Volvula eylindrica Lacuna unifasciata Yoldia cooperi If such a list be compared with the list of prevalent species of the outside fauna (table 5) it is found that 46 per cent of the prevalent species are predominantly southward ranging, whereas only 39 per cent are northward ranging. TABLE 5 PREVALENT SPECIES IN THE OUTSIDE FauNA Bathytoma carpenteriana Olivella intorta Columbella gausapata Olivella pedroana Epitonium sawinae Pandora filosa Leda taphria Phacoides tenuisculptus Mangilia angulata Siliqua nuttalli Nassa perpinguis Tellina salmonea This high percentage of southern forms occurring in the outside fauna is significant and may be emphasized in another way. Of the 22 predominately southward ranging species taken by the Survey, 10 or 45 per cent are restricted in their known local distribution to the open ocean. Four others were rarely taken within the bay. Thus nearly 60 per cent of the predominately southward ranging species taken by the Survey are either restricted to or occur almost exelu- sively in the waters outside the Golden Gate. It is also found that 1918] Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 233 the majority of the entire outside fauna as known from the ‘‘ Alba- tross’’ collections are predominately southward ranging. This condition may be contrasted with the seareity of southern forms within San Francisco Bay. The list of prevalent species for the bay (table 2) and for the different divisions of the bay does not contain a single predominately southward ranging form. Each of these prevalent species is predominately northward ranging. The bay fauna as a whole also has a northern aspect. There appears to be little if any difference in the distribution of the few southern species that live in the bay, although there is a considerable seasonal range of temperature in the different divisions of the bay. It is perhaps more than a coincidence that the middle division of the bay is the richest faunally, and that it is the coldest section of the bay during the summer months. This distribution of southern forms outside the Golden Gate and of northern forms within San Francisco Bay is surprising when it is recalled that the water of the bay is relatively warmer in the summer than that of the open ocean. In other words, cold summer temper- atures do not appear to be an important factor in limiting the north- ward range of the southern species. If it can be shown, however, that the same species reproduce during the winter months, the conclusion would be that the relatively cold water of the bay prevents the de- velopment of their larvae, and therefore limits them in their distri- bution to the warmer waters of the open ocean. Regardless of the value of such a supposition, it is evident that the distribution of the southward ranging species is in some way dependent upon the winter temperature conditions, and not upon that of the summer. The southward range of the northern species might be expected to be in some way limited by the warm waters. Such species would be expected to comprise the major portion of outside fauna, for the summer temperature of the open ocean is lower than that of the bay, but such is not the case. These forms are in the warmer waters of the bay. However, they are most abundant in the middle division of the bay, which at this season is the coldest portion of the bay. If the winter conditions are considered,- it is found that the northern species are in the colder waters of the bay instead of the warmer water of the open ocean. The effect of temperature in limiting these species is obscure unless it may be assumed that they reproduce in the winter and that the colder bay waters are more suitable for the development of their young than the warmer water of the open ocean. Such con- 234 University of California Publications in Zoology — [Vou. 14 clusions as to the breeding habits of the molluscan species have little value, unless it be that they stimulate much needed investigation along these lines. The occurrence of the predominately southward ranging species in the open ocean and their general absence from San Francisco Bay indicates that their distribution is in some way determined by the winter temperature. It is to be presumed that temperature acts in some way upon the reproductive activities of the mollusks. On the other hand, the northern species occur more abundantly within the bay, which during the winter months is relatively colder than the open ocean. This suggests that the warm water of the winter in some way limits the southern range of the northern species. INFLUENCE OF SALINITY Salinity is especially significant as a factor in determining the distribution of marine invertebrates in such regions as estuaries or salt marshes. The Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers reduce the salinity of the Carquinez Strait at the upper end of San Pablo Bay to an annual mean of less than 16 per mille. In this same region at hydrographie station H 5975 the seasonal range of bottom salinity lies between 13.35 and 19.14 per mille. Nevertheless this low salinity does not impose an effective barrier to Macoma balthica, M. nasuta, Mya arenaria, nor Mytilus edulis. Still farther up the stream at stations D 5760 and D 5761 the conditions are unfavorable to even these hardy species. They are likewise absent at D 5759, at the mouth of Napa Creek. It is evident that in these cases it is the minimum salt concentration that determines the distribution of these mollusks. Estuarine conditions exist also at station D 5766, within Alameda Channel. Since but little fresh water empties into this inlet, the sa- linity is presumably much the same as at the nearest hydrographic station, H 5008, which is typical for that portion of the lower division of the bay. It is not surprising to find that the fauna from that inlet is also typical of the lower bay, and that it includes species not dredged within Carquinez Strait. These few species that are capable of living in water of such low salinity cannot be properly designated as brackish water forms, for they occur abundantly in other regions where the salinity is high. All excepting Mya arenaria are prevalent species within the middle division of the bay, where the mean annual salinity is nearly twice as great as it is in Carquinez Strait. These species represent the more 1918] Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 235 adaptable forms of the entire fauna. Their general distribution throughout the bay shows that they can adjust themselves to diverse environments. It is not surprising, therefore, to note that they have a wide geographic range, two being cireumpolar in distribution. The true brackish water fauna of San Francisco Bay has not been investigated in this Survey. It is not unlikely that the species Ceri- theridea californica would be found to be restricted to brackish water, since it occurs in the salt marshes bordering the bay and was not taken by the Survey in the bay proper. The mollusean fauna from San Pablo Bay is meager in comparison to that from the other divisions of the bay. The prevalent species here are among those listed as prevalent also within the lower and middle segments. However, a number of those that are prevalent in the latter regions are not abundantly represented in the upper division. Cardium corbis, for instance, was taken at only four hauls within the latter division. A glance at the distribution charts of the more eom- mon species (pls. 42 to 59) shows that in the majority of cases the species are represented as extending up into the lower end of San Pablo Bay. This distribution may be best explained by the salinity factor. The other factors are not equally applicable, for neither the character of the bottom nor the temperature changes so markedly in the vicinity of Point San Pablo as do the curves for salinity. (See Sumner ef al., 1914.) The distribution of Mytilus californicus, Spisula catilliformis, and Tellina bodegensis within the outer portion of the Golden Gate is not as easily explained. These forms are known to be abundant in the adlittoral zone along the open ocean. There the temperatures are, for the most part quite similar to those given above for the waters off San Francisco. Such conditions probably prevail to a lesser extent in the outer portion of the Golden Gate. INFLUENCE OF THE CHARACTER OF THE Borrom The character of the bottom is a factor of considerable importance in determining the distribution of mollusks. It is evident that solid objects are necessary for the attachment of sessile peleeypods such as Ostrea, Hinnites, or Monia. A support of some sort is essential to the limpets, and usually to the chitons. Mud may interfere with the respiratory currents of some species, while it represents the optimum habitat of certain burrowing forms. Thus a close correspondence be- 236 University of California Publications in Zoology — [Vou. 14 tween the occurrence of certain species and the distribution of a par- ticular type of bottom is to be expected. Information regarding the character of the bottom was obtained by the Survey from four sources. The least accurate of these con- sisted of taking notes at the time the haul was made of the content of the dredge. Often this procedure was attended with difficulty, espeec- lally when the dredge contained materials of a composite nature. This method is, of course, inaccurate if the bottom is diversified. A considerable portion of the bottom from a definitely known loeality, together with the life upon it, was secured by means of the orange- peel bucket dredge. The other two methods were even more satisfac- tory. Stratified sections, in one case nearly 170 centimeters long, were obtained by means of the ‘‘Albatross’’ bottom sampling apparatus and the Ekman tubular bottom sampler. Physical and partial chemical analyses have been made of such tubular samples for 79 stations within San Francisco Bay. An in- structive chart has been made by Sumner et al. (1914, pl. 5), on which by a system of shaded sectors of circles the proportions of the different types of sediments are shown for these stations on an outline map of the bay. These data have been made the basis for the diseussions that follow. The data obtamed at those stations only at which the bottom con- ditions are definitely known are considered in this section. In a few instances the position of a dredging station at which a sample was obtained was lacking. In such a ease it is approximately the same as that of a hydrographic station at which a sample was taken. The position of the dredging and the hydrographic stations were declared identical, therefore, if a part or all of the dredging course was within 0.3 of a nautical mile from the latter. This distance was chosen for convenience. It represents the approximate equivalent of the radii of the circles used on plate 5, as mentioned above, to designate the char- acter of the bottom. This chart when superimposed upon one showing the location of the dredging stations readily gives the hydrographic equivalent of any desired position. These 72 stations at which both bottom samples and faunas were obtained may be divided into six groups, representing different types of bottom. The terms ‘‘mud’’ and ‘‘sand’’ are used in the same sense as used by Sumner ef al. (1914, p. 92). Sand includes material that will pass through a 2-millimeter sieve, yet does not remain in suspen- sion in water for any considerable period. These groups may be characterized as follows: 1918 Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 237 Group 1—Mud: not less than 90 per cent of mud. Group 2—Mud and sand: not less than 50 per cent of mud or 10 per cent of sand. Group 3—Sand: not less than 90 per cent of sand. Group 4—Sand and mud: not less than 50 per cent of sand or 10 per cent of mud. Group 5—Sand and gravel: not less than 50 per cent of sand or 10 per cent of gravel. Group 6—Gravel, shells, or stone: total of these equalling not less than 90 per cent. Group 7—Gravel and sand: not less than 50 per cent of gravel or 10 per cent of sand. In a few instances where the percentage of a certain type of material at a station lies within 1.or 2 per cent of a certain group to which it logically belongs it has arbitrarily been included in that group. Such cases are indicated in the list below by means of an asterisk. In this list the dredging stations, or their equivalent when necessary, of the localities at which precise bottom data are available, are given. The number in the right hand column refers to the bottom group to which the station belongs. These stations are quite uniformly distributed throughout the bay, and may therefore be considered as representative of the bottom con- ditions prevailing within San Francisco Bay. Upon the basis of the above groupings (table 6), it may be caleu- lated that at 18 per cent of the 72 stations mud (group 1) was encoun- tered, while at 12.5 per cent sand (group 3) was found, and at 9.7 per cent of the stations gravel and stones (group 6) prevailed. If groups 1 and 2 are considered together it is found that the bottom was prevailingly muddy at 43 per cent of these stations, prevailingly sandy at 44.3 per cent, and gravelly at 12.4 per cent. It is of interest to consider the character of the bottom by regions. In San Pablo Bay a prevailingly muddy bottom occurs at 53.3 per cent of these stations within that region and a predominately sandy one (groups 3, 4, and 5) at 46.6 per cent. Mud was encountered at 33.3 per cent and sand at 6.6 per cent. These figures may be compared with those for the lower division of the bay. In that region a prevailingly muddy bottom oceurs at 77.6 per cent and a predominately sandy one at 22.2 per cent of the stations. Pure mud occurred at 7 out of the 18 stations within this region, but at none of the stations was the bottom com- 238 University of California Publications in Zoology — [ Vou. 14 TABLE 6 Srations at WHICH Borrom SAMPLES WERE TAKEN Upper Division Dredging Hydrographic Bottom Dredging Hydrographic Bottom stationsy stations groups stations? stations groups 75517 Gi eee 4 Di5780\ 9 eae 1 DID GON een 3 D 5719 H 5287 1 DVT OA 9 awe 4 D 5716 H 5286 2 D693) = asec 4 DiST5Sipe” =a 2 Di5TO9Y 9 | eexks 1 IDID752) | ees 2 1D yiyshlleje Seeeeteece 4 D 5715 H 5285 1 D 5722 H 5289 4 D 5820 H 5285 1 D 5817 H 5289 4 Middle Division D 5709 3 IDES rece 4 D 5824 2 D 5744 2 D 5449 2 D 5745 3 D 5756 : od 2 D 5755 5 ID GY Yige rea 1 D 5746 3 D 5826 H 5302 2 IDEA eee 7 D 5798 H 5302 2 Di5829 ANG gee 5 D 5703 H 5301 2 IDBYNG) eee te 6 D 5799 H 5301 2 IDYEYADO) ees 5 D 5705 H 5300 4 TDS) 7 D 5825 H 5300 4 D 5775 6 D 5718 H 5300 4 D 5774 6 D5796_ ee 3 D 5713 a es 3 D 5741 (D 5796) 3 D9) ees 4 D 5742 (D 5796) 3 DiST(S eee 5 D 5795 (D 5796) 3 Di5808% a= Zs D 5763 By yee oa 4 D5809 eee 6 D 5828 H 5299 4 D'5843% 9 ees IDG RA eee 4 Di5842% ees Dij740 eee 4 Lower Division AD) SYsB Et | pee === D 5839 H 5309 1 DIF8325) |< Wee 4 D 5729 H 5310 4 DISSSShay we eee 1 D 5836 H 5310 4 IDVGYA cect 1 D 5730 H 5311 1 D 5803 H 5307 2 D 5838 H 5311 1 D 5724 H 5307 2 DISTSl ee ee 2 D 5725 H 5307 2 D 5783 (D 5848) 2 D 5835 H 5308 2 D5 SAS he ec ey 2 D 5728 H 5309 1 D584 7(Ave eee al * The dredging stations numbered D 5831-5841 inclusive, are quantitative stations. + The stations are taken in order from the upper to the lower end of the bay. 1918 | Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 239 prised of pure sand as defined above (group 1). It is noteworthy that in both of these divisions gravel was lacking. In such places as in the vicinity of Point San Mateo an abundance of old shells offers ample support to the invertebrates requiring it. The middle division is predominately sandy. At 53.5 per cent of the stations within this region the bottom may thus be characterized. At 23 per cent it is prevailingly muddy and at 22.9 per cent it is predominately gravelly. Mud was encountered at only one station within this division, sand at 8 or 20.5 per cent, and gravel at 7 stations. The correlation of these physical conditions with the distribution of certain of the mollusecan species may now be undertaken. Lists of the prevalent species for the different types of bottoms, as grouped above, have been prepared. These lists are based upon the occurrence of identifiable specimens of the different species, and not solely upon the occurrence of lying specimens. In some instances this procedure may lead to incorrect conclusions, for it is evident that dead shells may be transported considerable distances by various agents, of which tidal currents and hermit crabs are conspicuous. It will be noted in the table given below that several of the species oceur in six or more of the groups. These species whose distribution appears to be unre- lated to a particular type of bottom are: Cardium corbis, Macoma nasuta, Mya californica, Mytilus edulis, and Ostrea lurida. It is rather surprising to note that Mytilus edulis should be taken alive from a pure mud bottom. In the following table column 7 has undue weight, for the group has too few stations to have any real significance. A bottom of sand or of mud is not as favorable to a varied mol- luscan life as is one comprising two or more types of materials. This easily anticipated conclusion follows from a comparison of the average number of species per station represented by living specimens for a particular bottom group. These averages are two or less for mud (2.0) and sand (1.3), whereas they are about three for the other groups. This may also be shown by referring to the list of prevalent species for the bottom groups. There it is seen that the larger numbers are in the groups comprising two or more types of materials. This is presumably due to the greater number of environments at such localities. The records of the Survey indicate that a muddy bottom supports a larger number of mollusks than does a sandy or gravelly one. The average number of living individuals per stations for the muddy bot- toms (groups 1 and 2) is 38.4, whereas it is 20.6 for the sandy (groups 240 University of California Publications in Zoology | Vou. 14 3, 4, and 5), and only 9.4 for the gravelly ones. The average for sand (group 3) is but 5.4, which is only about one-ninth that for pure mud. That such localities are relatively barren of molluscan life also appears from the consideration of the average number of species per station for group 38. This has been shown above to be considerably less than for the other types of bottoms.

Depth as far as the local fauna is concerned does not appear to have any great significance in determining the distri- bution. The deeper waters of the Golden Gate yield faunas nearly identical with those obtained from the shallower. The apparent re- striction, in a few instances, to certain bathymetric zones appears to be due to other factors. Low salinity certainly prevents the marine mollusks from ranging much above the lower end of Carquinez Strait. It appears to be the most conspicuous factor in accounting for the meagerness of the San Pablo Bay fauna in contrast to those from the other divisions of the bay. It is not improbable that low salt eoncen- tration prevents certain species like Spisula catilliformis and Mytilus californicus from entering the Golden Gate farther than Fort Point. The importance of temperature is more uncertain. The greater per- centage of predominately southward ranging species in the outside fauna may be due to the more uniform temperature for the year, or possibly it is to be correlated with the relatively warmer temperature during the winter months, which may later be found to correspond to the reproductive periods of the majority of the molluscan species. The influence of the bottom upon the distribution of the mollusks is the most conspicuous of the factors considered. As has been noted, cer- tain forms are capable of living under a variety of conditions of bot- tom. Several of them were shown to be able to endure marked ex- tremes of temperature and salinity as well. A composite bottom, com- prising two or more types of materials, offers a greater variety of local conditions, and it supports, therefore, a greater number of mollusean species than the other types. It is seen that mud supports the greater number of individuals per station, but this may be due in part to the fact that the dredge sinks deeper in the softer sediments, and thus obtains a more complete representation of the life from such a bottom. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE FAUNA Forty-three dredge hauls were made within San Francisco Bay by means of the orange-peel bucket dredge. Such a type of dredge had not previously been used for biological purposes. This apparatus has an advantage over the various types of trawl dredges in that it permits the taking of large masses of mud from a single spot, besides rendering possible the capture of deeply burrowing 242 University of California Publications in Zoology [Vou 14 organisms. Its capacity is 2.5 eubie feet, and it encloses a circular area of 7.8 square feet. The material collected by means of this apparatus was carefully sorted and all of the macroscopic organisms were preserved in form- alin or alcohol. The record of the mollusean material include the following items: the name of the species, the number of individuals of each species, the condition of each specimen at the time of dredging, and the maximum, minimum, and modal lengths of each species from each haul. The fauna obtained in this manner comprises 23 peleeypods and 12 gastropods. This number represents about 43 per cent of the bay fauna. The list of prevalent species given on page 221 includes the most adaptable forms found in the local fauna. These species have a gen- eral distribution throughout the bay, being also conspicuous because of the wide geographie ranges, which in several instances are circum- polar. It has been shown in another paper (Packard, 1918) that the aver- age quantitative haul is richer in bivalves (4.8) than in univalves (1.0). On the average 45.4 living mollusks occur within the area cov- ered by the jaws of the orange-peel bucket dredge. The most produe- tive haul yielded 16 species, 4 of which were represented by living specimens. The relative abundance of molluscan species and indi- viduals for the different divisions of the bay was found to be 2.3 species per haul in the upper bay, 7.5 in the middle, and 6.9 in the lower, or 21.5 individuals per haul in the upper, 315 in the middle, and 107.5 in the lower bay. The mollusks obtained in the quantitative hauls show little rela- tionship in distribution to depth, although the average number of living individuals is greater in the deeper portion of the bay. How- ever, this has little significance, since the deeper hauls were made within the middle division of the bay, where this apparent relation- ship may be accredited to other factors. The character of the bottom is an important factor in distribution. It can be shown that the number of individuals per unit area is largely dependent upon the particular type of bottom. A bottom characterized by sand and shells yields on an average 174 individuals, while a bottom of mud and shells yields only 82.5. This conclusion does not harmonize with the one given above (p. 240) that the muddy bottom supports the larger num- ber of mollusks. This diserepaney may be due to the trawl dredge not sinking deep enough in sand to capture a representative fauna. 1918] Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 243 A comparison of the lists of the species obtained from the several types of bottoms shows that most of the species were taken from more than one type of bottom. This indicates that the mere occurrence upon a particular type of bottom does not necessarily prove that such a bottom represents its normal habitat. The relative abundance per unit of area for the different types of bottom probably more nearly indicates the optimum habitat of a given species. Thus the average per haul for each species should give some clew to the most favorable environment of that species. Cardium corbis, Macoma nasuta, Mya arenaria, and Zirfaca gabbi are, according to such reasoning, predom- inately mud dwellers. On the other hand, Mya california, Macoma balthica, M. inquinata, Ostrea lurida, and Thais lamellosa predominate on the sandy bottoms. Here again the conclusion drawn from the quan- titative work does not agree with that based upon the qualitative hauis. It has already been stated (p. 239) that Cardiwm corbis, Macoma nasuta, Mya california, and Ostrea lurida do not show a distribution pattern that appears to be related to any particular type of bottom. In this case it is not unlikely that the latter conclusion is the more nearly correct. A standard specimen curve, showing the number of living indi- viduals obtained at the dredging stations that are the equivalent of the hydrographic stations of the regular series, has been made in order to compare it directly with the temperature and salinity curves pub- lished by Sumner ef al. The specimen curve shows little relationship with the mean annual salinity curve. The seasonal range of salinity curve (Sumner et al., 1914, p. 68, fig. M) shows a certain correspond- ence with the specimen curve, indicating that there is in general an increase In the number of living individuals per haul with decrease in the annual range of salinity. One of the six curves showing the mean salinity for the different periods of the year suggests that the low salt concentration during the period from April 23 to May 6 may possibly be a factor limiting the abundant mollusean life to the middle and lower divisions of the bay. This same specimen curve when compared with the published tem- perature curves for the same stations shows that the regions where the annual range is high are low in the number of mollusks. It also indicates that the cooler regions of the bay during the summer months support a greater number of specimens per unit area. However, these apparent relationships are not considered as being necessarily causal ones. 244 University of California Publications in Zoology — [Vou. 14 The quantitative work by Rankin and Kofoid indicate that the plankton of the bay is everywhere rich enough to supply the mollusk with the requisite amount of food. The conclusions of the quantitative work parallel in the main those derived from the less accurate qualitative work; the differences in results are generally to be accounted for on the basis of the differ- ences of procedure followed in the two eases. SUMMARY San Francisco Bay receives the discharge of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. This affects the salinity, temperature, and the bottom conditions prevailing within those waters. These factors have elsewhere been shown to vary considerably within the bay, producing a number of environments. Only the more important physical factors have been considered in this paper. The molluscan fauna taken by the Survey comprises 112 species and 3 varieties. This number equals but 65 per cent of the reported fauna from San Francisco and immediate vicinity. The fauna obtained in the open ocean off San Francisco comprises 64 determined species, of which 30 are pelecypods, 32 gastropods, and 2 seaphopods. A consideration of the average number of species per station in- dicates that the waters of the open ocean are more favorable to a varied mollusean life than those of the bay. The average number of individuals represented by living specimens per station is more than three times as great in the group of stations in the former region as it is within the upper division of San Francisco Bay. The fauna obtamed by the Survey within San Francisco Bay comprises 81 species and varieties, of which 43 are ‘peleeypods, 31 gastropods, and 7 chitons. Fifty-nine per cent of this fauna was taken exclusively within those waters. Since 76 species of the entire fauna obtained by the ‘‘ Albatross’’ are predominately northward ranging, whereas only 53 are predomi- nately southward ranging, the San Franciscan fauna appears to be more closely related to the northern one. Two new mollusean species that were taken by the Survey have been described by Dr. Bartsch (Odostomia franciscana Bartsch and Turbonilla franciscana Bartsch). Two heretofore unreported exotic species were obtained by the ‘‘ Albatross.”’ 1918] Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 245 The three bathymetric zones represented in these waters are not divisible into subzones upon the basis of the mollusean life. The large proportion of the predominantly southward ranging species are restricted to the waters of the open ocean, where the winter temperatures are higher than they are in the bay. The influence of salinity may be noted within Carquinez Strait, where the low salt concentration acts as an effective barrier to the marine species. The salinity factor is considered to be the major one in accounting for the meagerness of the fauna from the upper in contrast to that from the other divisions of the bay. The character of the bottom appears to have the greatest signifi- cance in determining the local distribution of the mollusks. The stations at which both precise bottom data and faunas were obtained are grouped into seven classes, each representing a particular type of bottom. The lists of prevalent species for these bottom groups shows that the distribution of several of the species is unrelated to any par- ticular type of bottom. There are other species, however, that are characteristically found upon one of these types of bottoms. A bottom of pure sand or pure mud is not as favorable to a varied mollusean life as is one comprising two or more types of materials. A mud bottom appears to support a larger number of living individ- uals than does any of the other types. Sand is shown to be the least favorable to an abundant molluscan life. CATALOGUE OF SPECIES This catalogue includes the forms taken by the Survey and those that have previously been reported from San Francisco Bay and the adjacent waters outside the Golden Gate. The synonyms given in- clude the name under which the species was described and the more common ones found in the literature dealing with the Mollusea of the San Francisco region. The dimensions given represent the maximum and the minimum lengths of all of the specimens obtained by the Survey. The italicized number in the parenthesis following the num- ber of the dredging station indicates the number of living specimens obtained at that station, while the arabic number indicates the number of valves in the case of the pelecypods, or the number of specimens of other shell-bearing mollusks that were dead at the time of the dredging. In a few cases the specimens were not counted, only an estimated number being given. Occasionally a fragment that could be determined specifically is recorded by the letter ‘‘f’’. 246 University of California Publications in Zoology | Vou. 14 PELECYPODA NUCULACEA NUCULIDAE Nucula Lamarck Nucula tenuis (Montagu) Plate 14, figure 4 Arca tenuis Montagu (1808), pl. 29, fig. 1.

Description—tThe following is the original description of this species as given by Gabb (1865): ‘«Shell thin, somewhat compressed, very inequilateral, beaks placed about a third of the length from the anterior end, minute; anterior end narrow; sub- acuminate, posterior end broadly rounded; base most prominent just posterior to the middle of the shell; surface sculptured by numerous small concentric ribs, rarely dichotomous or anastomosing on the widest part of the shell; these ribs are flat and abruptly truncated on the side nearest the beak, giving the 1918] Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 249 surface, under a glass, the appearance of an overlapping. Epidermis shining, olivaceous; internally a bluish white; muscular sears large, the anterior tri- angular; posterior a third the largest, broadly suboval.’’ Gabb confused the terms posterior and anterior as applied to this shell. These words should be interchanged in the above description. Length, 55 mm. Occurrence.—At station D 5788* (7). This species is represented in the ‘‘Albatross’’ collections, by a single specimen, that was dredged alive outside the Golden Gate, in 68 fathoms and on a bottom composed of a dark green sand. This specimen differs somewhat from the type of the species which is in the collections of the Department of Palaeontology of the Uni- versity of California, in that it is less produced anteriorly.

Scapharca transversa, Dall (1898c), p. 645. Description.—This species is described by Gould (1841) as follows: “*Shell transversely oblong, rhomboidal, with from thirty-two to thirty-five ribs placed at nearly the length of their own diameters distant from each other. Apices separated by a long narrow space, and situated at the termination of the posterior (anterior) third of the length of the hinge margin; extremities of the hinge margin angulated; anterior (posterior) edge, the superior half rectilinear; posterior (anterior) edge rounded; inferior edge nearly rectilinear, or very obtusely rounded; on the hinge space, one or two angulated lines are drawn from the apex diverging to the hinge edge.’’ Length, 12 to 25 mm. Occurrence.—At stations D 5781* (4), D 45811 (5), D 5813 (1). This species is represented by several old valves obtained from three dredging stations at the extreme southern portion of the bay. It is an eastern species that has not hitherto been reported from this coast. It was probably introduced with the eastern oyster, with which it is associated.

This native oyster has been reported by various writers under several varietal names from the vicinity of San Francisco. It is a hardy species, having a general distribution within the bay besides occurring in the shallower waters outside the Golden Gate. It is apparently restricted by the distribution of a type of bottom that affords a suitable support for the young. The relatively small number of localities at which shells were obtained is due largely to the fact 252 University of California Publications in Zoology [| Vou. 14 > that the operations of the ‘‘Albatross’’ were confined to the deeper region of the bay. Living specimens were dredged in depths ranging from less than 1 to 4 fathoms. Shells were encountered frequently within the Golden Gate in 19 fathoms. The shells being light are quite easily shifted by the currents from the shallow waters to regions of deeper water, thereby accounting in part for great numbers of dead specimens dredged at certain localities. This species is associated with Ostrea elongata (O. virginica), which has been introduced from the East. The western species possesses a much thinner shell than does the eastern form. The denticulate hinge- margin and the more elongate adductor muscle scar also serve to dis- tinguish O. lurida. It is used quite extensively as food for man, being harvested in the lower portion of the bay by several oyster companies. Range.—Sitka, Alaska, to Cape Lucas, Lower California (Dall).

Description—This oyster was described by Gould (1841) in the following words: “«Shell narrow, elongated, gradually widening, moderately curved, for the most part with a long and pointed beak at the apex, and rounded at the other extremity. Upper valve, the smallest, flattest and smoothest surface; when not worn, presenting everywhere leaf-like scales, of a somewhat leaden color. The hinge presents the usual channel in the beak of the lower valve, longer or shorter according to the age of the shell, and marked with lines exhibiting the successive removes of the cartilage; and in the upper valve we have the corresponding elevation, which is also continued back to the point of the shell. The muscular impression is nearly central, of a dark chestnut, or sometimes dark violet color.’’ Length, 10 to 100 mm. Occurrence.—At stations D 5781 (11, 15), D 5782 (5, 23), D 5808 (1), D 5810 (1), D 5811 (9), D 5812 (10), D 5814 (2, 6). This is the eastern edible oyster which is grown here from seed oysters shipped from the East. This species does not reproduce to any extent in these waters. Range.—Known on the Pacifie Coast from San Francisco Bay and Puget Sound, where it has been introduced. 1918 ] Packard: Molluscan Fauna from San Francisco Bay 253 PECTINACEA PECTINIDAE Hinnites Defrance Hinnites giganteus Gray Plate 17, figures la and 1b Hinnites giganteus Gray (1826), p. 103; Wood and Raymond (1891), p. 55. Pecten giganteus, Arnold (1906), p. 93, pl. 29, figs. 1, 2, 2a. Description —Arnold (1906) described this species as follows: ‘«Shell averaging about 75 millimeters in altitude, usually not quite so long as high, irregular, inequivalve, generally inequilateral on account of attachment to irregular surface; shell quite thick; margins smooth. Right valve more ven- tricose than left, ornamented by 9 to 18 narrow, irregular, prominently squamose ribs, between which in the flat interspaces are less prominent raised lines simi- larly sculptured; hinge line more than one-half length of disk; ears subequal, and more or less prominently seulptured by fine, squamose, radiating lines; byssal sinus sometimes visible. Left valve less ventricose than right, otherwise similar. Hinge rather narrow and heavy; fosset deeply excavated, oblique, narrow, and angular; hinge is dark purple in living shells.’’ Length, 7 to 75 mm. Occurrence.—At stations D'5701 (1), D5702 (f.), D5712 (1), D 5735 (1), D5795 (2), D5800 (2), D5827 A (f.), D5843 (2), D 5846 (7, 2), and questionably at D 5773, D 5801. This common West Coast species was reported by Wood and Ray- mond (1891) from San Francisco. It has been taken by the Survey at eight stations. It is restricted in its distribution to the open waters outside the Golden Gate and the middle portion of San Francisco Bay west of Aleatraz and north of Angel Island. The only living specimen was obtained at station D 5846 at a depth of 10 fathoms on a stony bottom. Shells were obtained in depths up to 19 fathoms from bottoms which were prevailingly stony. This correlation with a rocky bottcm is due to the fact that this species becomes sessile at any early age, attaching itself to some foreign object. Range.—Aleutian Islands to Magdalena Bay (Dall).

Hinge with almost obsolete cardinal erura. Color, golden yellow to pink, the left valve being the darker.’’ This species is occasionally found in the vicinity of San Francisco. It is not among the Survey collections. It is listed from this region by Wood and Raymond (1891). Range.—Puget Sound to San Pedro, California.

Anomia lampe Gray, Arnold, R. (1903), p. 117. Description.—Dall described this species as follows: “«Shell very thin, pearly; white or copper brown on the upper valve, bluish green internally and on the central part of the lower valve; sessile on other shells or smooth objects adhering by a prominent byssus which passes through a large hole in the lower valve. The scars of the muscles in an area on the inside of the upper valve form a nearly even straight row radiating from the direction of the hinge.’’ Length, about 26 mm. Occurrence.—At station D 5811 (3). Three worn valves dredged within the lower part of the bay have been referred to this species. Its association with the eastern oyster suggests the possibility of it being Anomia simplex d’Orbigny, an eastern form closely resembling our West Coast species. However, Anomia peruviana has recently been reported by Clark (1914, p. 25) from Bolinas Bay, so it is not improbable that it is living within San Francisco Bay. The specimens were obtained from a muddy bottom at a depth of 3 fathoms. Range.—Bolinas Bay, California (Clark), Paita, Peru (Dall).

Obtained by the Survey at six stations, which are restricted to the Golden Gate and Raccoon Straits. The single living specimen was dredged from a rocky bottom near the north shore of the Golden Gate in 10 fathoms of water. Shells were dredged in 1234 to 53 fathoms. This being a sessile form it occurs only where suitable support exists, such as stones or large shells. Range.—Unalaska to Lower California.
