Historical Macroinvertebrate List For Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens

We did no collecting on June 1, but here are some species lists for the

surface tributary streams of the District of Columbia. Occ. Publ. Biol.

We also sampled Watt's Branch and Nash Run at about the same time, 
(January) but found no macroinverts.

We have another 1991 gray literature publication which includes the 
Anacostia tributaries. It is available as 
ASCII text
.  

Banta WC and Backus BT 1991. Bryozoans as indicators of water quality 
in the DC area. Final Report to the US  Department of the Interior, DC 
Water Resources Center. American University, Washington DC.

We are working to get the whole text of the DC area report (all 31 DC 
tributary streams) onto the web.
