Compressional-wave velocity, wet-bulk density, and porosity were measured on sediments and rocks recovered from Deep Sea Drilling Project Holes 515B and 516F. Wet-bulk densities were measured by both gravimetric and GRAPE methods. Velocities were measured on trimmed samples with the Hamilton frame velocimeter. The shipboard measurement techniques are discussed in the explanatory notes chapter (Coulbourn, this volume) and are described in detail by Boyce (1976a). Only the shipboard measurements are reported here.
