Species composition and periodicity of phytoplankton were studied in relation to various physieo-chemical pmameters over a period of 18 months in the two basins of Lake Sat Tal. Taxonomic analysis led t o 54 species. Phytoplankton density in the euphotic zone ranged from 0.33 >( lo5 t o 4.12 x 105 c

โฆ Synopsis
Certain chemical constituents (NO,-N, bio-available P, Ca, Na, K, Mn, Cu, Co and organic matt)er) together with pH, Eh and clay content of surface sediments a t various depths of the overlying water in Lake Bhim Tal were examined during 1977-1978. I n addition, NH:,-N and dissolved oxygen a t the mud-water interface (water immediately above the sediments) were measured.
The values of Eh, pH and NOC1-N in the sediments showed a negative relationship with water depth and positive relationship with dissolved oxygen a t the interface. The other variables of the sediment were positively related to water depth and negatively related to dissolved oxygen a t the interface. Organic matter, K, Na and Ca showed positive relationship with the amount of clay while the cations (K, Na, Ca) and trace metals (Cu, Mn, Co) showed a positive relationship with the amount of organie matter in the sediments.

The phytoplankton community in Lake Khurpatal (Kumaun Himalya), India, was analyzed in relation to physico-chemical variables. Phytoplankton biomass ranged from 2.7 to 20.0 g m-3 in the euphotic zone of the lake. Dinoflagellates monopolized the algal community with a mean annual contribution of 94.5
