Analytical data for 207 stream-sediment samples from western St. Lawrence Island are presented in this report, together with a statistical treatment of the data. The samples were collected in 1968 and 1969 as part of the Heavy Metals Program of the U.S. Geological Survey.
This report is intended to supplement Geological Survey open-file report entitled "Preliminary geologic investigations of western St. Lawrence Island, Alaska" (Patton and Csejtey, 1970) which describes the general geology of the area and discusses several localities where anomalous amounts of metals were found.
