The recorder installation on the Bighorn River at Bighorn, Montana was placed in operation on October 7, 1956. The re- location of this station from the site 4 miles upstream was made to avoid the recurring and shifting silt deposits in the channel which were aggra- vated by the Manning Dam. Supplementary data collection considered desirable by the Commission consisted of miscellaneous measurements of the Whitehorse Canal near Edgar, discharge records of the Little Bighorn River near Crow Agency and the Agency Canal at Crow Agency. These miscellaneous data and discharge records at designated points of measurement are given in Appendix B. 3.
