Abstract: | Three samples of twenty drainage basins were analyzed to test the hypothesis that the generic terms “creeks,'’“runs,'’and “hollows'’connote streams of different size and velocity. Analysis of variance and Scheffé's test indicate the validity of a perceptual hierarchy among generics. It is suggested that other hierarchies may exist among geographically named features. |
