This paper deals with the results of investigations made in Lake Yogo in August, 1951, on the nature and distribution of bottom deposits in relation to the kinds and distribution of higher aquatic plants.The number of stations at which the collections were made were 63 in total, and 35 of them were chosen in securing samples for the analyses of the bottom deposits (Map 1).Almost the whole extent of the lake basin is covered with the bottom deposits of mainly soft grey ooze in which silt and clay are confined to the ratio of about 70 % in composition.The lower limit of the vertical distribution of higher aquatic plants is met with at a depth of 6.5m. Their standing crop in a unit area of bottom varies widely with either depth or location (Table 2). The richest plant growths are observed in the northern part of the lake, at the strata between the depths from 2 to 2.5m, where the biomass in dry weight being estimated as 467 g/m2 in maximum and 107 g/m2 in minimum. The dominant species of plants are found in the genera Hydrilla and Potamogeton, both of which grow only on the muddy bottom.
