EXPLANATION OF TABLES 



1. Station. Stations are numbered 

 consecutively, starting with one, at 

 the beginning of each cruise. The 

 station pattern and nunnbers as 

 shown in figure 1 were maintained 

 on each cruise. If a station or 



series of stations was not occupied, 

 these station numbers are omitted. 

 Regular stations have numbers 

 only; standard and special stations 

 are specifically indicated. 



2. Cruise . The first cruise over the 

 established station pattern (fig. 1) 

 was numbered 6' ;7/ 1, and subse- 

 quent cruises Gill 2 through Gill 9. 



3. Sample number . This is the orig- 

 inal number placed on the plastic 

 bags at time sample was obtained. 



4. Latitude and longitude . The posi- 

 tion of the station is given in de- 

 grees and minutes. 



5. Depth (meters) . Is the observed 

 uncorrected sonic sounding for the 

 station, recorded in meters. 



6. Date . Month, day and year are 

 given. 



7. Sediment type . This is the textural 

 type as determined from the size 

 grade distribution and from the 

 triangle diagram of figure 3. Ab- 

 breviations are: CI = clay, Si - 

 silt, Sa = sand, Gr = gravel. As an 

 example, GrSa = gravelly sand, 

 SiSa = silty sand. 



8. Loss on ignition . This is the per- 

 centage of dry sample that is 

 volatilized between the tempera- 

 tures of 1 10° C and 850° C. In sam- 

 ples containing a large percentage 

 of shell the major loss is carbon 

 dioxide from calcium carbonate. 

 Loss also derives from vegetable 

 material and inorganic hydroxides 

 and salts. 



9. Insoluble residue . This is the per- 

 centage of dry sample that is in- 

 soluble in hydrochloric acid. 



10. Aluminum oxide . This is the per- 

 centage of hydrochloric acid solu- 

 ble aluminum present on a dry 

 weight basis and reported as 

 aluminum oxide.
