(a)
Item no.
In table I an item number is assigned to each
						specifically designated waters or portions thereof.
(b)
Waters index number
as
					 appearing in table I shall mean that number or abbreviation which has been
					 assigned to any specifically designated waters or portions thereof for the
					 purpose of identification.
(1) The numbering
					 or index system used to identify specific waters of New York State was adapted
					 from that used by the New York State Conservation Department in its biological
					 survey series of reports on watersheds of the State. The primary waters of a
					 drainage basin, such as rivers or large lakes are usually referred to by name
					 or an abbreviation. Tributaries of primary waters are consecutively numbered
					 progressing upstream from the mouth. Ponds and lakes are numbered consecutively
					 as they are encountered, such numbers being preceded by the letter P.
					 Tributaries of such lakes and ponds are numbered consecutively as they enter,
					 progressing clockwise around the lake or pond from its outlet or mouth. When
					 isolated lakes and ponds are referenced by a waters index number, it is merely
					 for convenience of their identification and location within a subdrainage
					 basin, and it is not necessarily indicative of their being tributary to any
					 waters to which no surface connection is shown on the reference maps.
(2) This system was applied to the basin
					 under consideration by the Conservation Department in its biological survey of
					 the Upper Hudson River watershed in 1932 and has been closely followed in
					 connection with the identification of the waters with the following exceptions:
					 Some of the stream numbers do not run consecutively due to the omission of
					 streams originally shown on older maps employed by the Conservation Department
					 at the time of its 1932 survey, but not shown on newer maps reproduced herein.
					 Conversely, a few streams not shown on the older maps but appearing on the
					 newer maps are designated by the letters a, b, c, etc.
(3) The system as applied to the
					 identification of waters in the Upper Hudson River drainage basin may be
					 illustrated as follows:
Waters index
								  number
Name
Explanation
H
Hudson River
Primary waters within New York State extending
								  upstream from The Battery, New York City.
H-301
Batten Kill
The 301st tributary entering the Hudson River,
								  numbering consecutively upstream from the mouth at The Battery.
H-301-17
Whittacker Brook
The 17th tributary entering the Batten Kill
								  numbering upstream from the mouth.
H-301-17-P 79
Cossayuna Lake
The 79th pond, lake or reservoir encountered in the
								  biological survey of the Upper Hudson River watershed, and specifically located
								  in the drainage basin of Whittacker Brook.

Unnamed tributary
The 4th tributary entering Cossayuna Lake numbering
								  clockwise from the outlet of the lake.
H-301-17(3.8)
Whittacker Brook
A point on Whittacker Brook measured three and
								  eight-tenths miles upstream from the mouth, which point is a road crossing at
								  the hamlet of Cossayuna.
