was the seasonal succession of the identified genera. The number of taxa identified in each season were 13 in spring and summer, 9 in fall, and 6 in winter. Although spring and summer had the same .number of identified taxa, the genera were common to more streams during spring than in summer. Tables 5a, 5b, and 5c list the stream numbers and the names of periphyton identified during each season. Of all the streams, stream 17 was the most diverse having 13 periphyton taxa identified during the year. In terms of periphyton diversity in each stream during the seasons, streams 5 and 6 were the most diverse in summer with six genera, stream 4 was most diverse in fall with six genera, the Susquehanna River (stream 1) was most diverse in winter with four genera, and streams 16 and 20 were most diverse in spring with ten taxa. Communities of periphyton taxa found in agricultural streams were also found in forested streams. These tables show the general pattern of the spring season being dominant in the number of identified periphyton taxa and the number of streams in which they were found. 34
