into finer grained sandy silt. Occasional mol- 

 luscan fragments near top of core. 



63° 57' 168° 20' 19 13 Grey-green slightly silty fine sand containing 



molluscan fragments in top 10 inches; changes 

 abruptly to dark sandy silt in basal 3 inches 

 of core. 



Coarse greenish-grey silt containing little clay 

 and a few scattered molluscan fragments. 



Slightly sandy coarse greenish-grey silt con- 

 taining minor amounts of clay.

from top by somewhat sandier parting, then 

 grading again to sandy silt 9Vi inches from 

 top, where it grades into silty sand becoming 

 coarser toward bottom; medium sand and peb- 

 bles common in basal 15 inches. 



67° 50' 166° 32' 29 8Vi Greenish-grey, poorly sorted silty sand, con-
