“…Technological gaps center around three needs: a technique to acquire efficiently and inexpensively sufficient ldnetic and potential energy to achieve adequate penetration depths, a method to correlate deceleration records with real soil properties, and a means to determine the instrument depth below the seafioor at any given time during penetration. Innovative developments maybe relatively slow; however, the possibility of penetrating great depths below the bottom (200 m has been mentioned by W. Bryant, 1972, personal communication to Richards), perhaps by expendable devices containing a self-contained source of kinetic energy, is a worthy goal.…”

Sands and silty sands are the predominant surficial soils of continental shelves. Cohesive fine-grained soils are typical off the mouths of large rivers, near bays and estuaries, and in basins located on the shelf. The stratigraphy of shelf soils is very poorly known for most engineering purposes, except in the vicinity of the Mississippi Delta.Vibratory coring is the most common method of sampling shelf sands to depths of about 13 m; greater soil depths are sampled by borings often using drilling and wireline sampling tools. Employment of self-contained or wireline static cone penetrometers to obtain in situ measurements of sands has not been as common in the United States as in Europe. Dynamic piston corers are the most common samplers in cohesive soils, but rotary and hydraulically activated incremental corers are becoming available for marine use. Selfcontained or wireline vane shear devices and static cone penetrometers are used for the in situ testing of cohesive soils, and the latter device is also used for cohesionless soils. Dynamic cone penetrometers have been developed and have had limited experimental use at sea. In situ electrical resistivity and nuclear-transmission and backscatter probes have been used in cohesive soils to obtain bulk-

In shallow water, sediment types, and consequently their properties, may vary greatly over short distances. In the deep sea, sediment types are fewer, and the main types occupy vast areas. Within the term "deep-sea sediments" must be included the turbidites which form large abyssal plains, rises, and fans in the deep sea.Tables of sediment properties previously published by the writer are supplemented by additional measurements from 12 different sources, and new regression equations and diagrams illustrate some interrelationships.
