Lake Greeson, the leasteutrophic of the three lakes, had cladoceran populations that were indicative ofcommunities found at low nutrient concentrations, where accordingto Porter (Amer.

Although much is known about the distribution of bryophytes inthe Ozark region of Arkansas (Wittlake, 1950b; Redfearn, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1970, 1972, 1979), little information is available for other regionsof the state (Lowe, 1919; Scully, 1941; Moore, 1964). Wittlake (1950a) reviewed the early work concerning bryophytes of Arkansas. This paperreports new county and state records of bryophytes from Arkansas.Most of the new county records are from collections stored at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and were made by E. B. Wittlakebetween 1948 and 1951. These collections are currently being processed into modern storage facilities.As a result ofspecimens processed thus far, 28 new county records are represented in Wittlake's (EBW) collection. Collections made by thesecond author (JEM) at Hot Springs National Park, Garland County represented five additional county records. Voucher specimens have beendeposited at the University ofCentral Arkansas herbarium. Finally, three county records are from collections made by the senior author (SLT)and have been deposited at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville herbarium.100Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science, Vol. 37 [1983], Art. 42Published by Arkansas Academy of Science, 1983Arkansas Academy of Science Proceedings, Vol. XXXVII,1983 101General NotesNomenclature for the taxa reported below follow Crum and Anderson (1981).

Among reports on the use of mosquitofish as predators ofricefield mosquitoes are those of Horsfall, 1942; Fowler,;Craven and Steelman, 1968; and Meisch and Coombes, 1974. Large numbers ofmosquitofish will be necessary to achieve adequate controlwide areas (Hoy and Reed, 1970; Hoy et al., 1971, 1972; Davey et al., 1974).
