Seasonality in stream behavior, as expressed by the frequency of exceedance of selected river levels, is determined by a simple test. The previously developed nonseasonal point and interval estimates for the mean recurrence interval between exceedances are found to be robust for all 70 seasonal streams tested. The estimates are not improved by the additional information in a multiplicative model based on relative constancy of the seasonal pattern over the range of upper river levels.
