'The mayflies of Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island were surveyed from April - October, 1987 with extensive field collections. The park occupies 12,145 ha on a coastal island. Collecting sites varied considerably in elevation, substrate composition, acidity and salinity.' 'Twenty-three genera and 47 species were recorded, 22 of which were new species records for Mount Desert Island and five were new for the State of Maine. Leptophlebia spp. were the most widely distributed species in lentic habitats and Stenoma modestum was the most ubiquitous lotic species. Mayfly species richness recorded in this study compared favorably with that recorded on Mount Desert Island in the 1930's.' Tables 1 and 2 lists characteristics of several streams and ponds sampled. /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Canon Brook/Duck Brook/Great Brook/Hadlock Brook/Marshall Brook/Northeast Creek/Stanley Brook/Sargent Mountain Pond/Aunt Betty Pond/Eagle Lake/Beaver Dam Pond/Long Pond/
