This report contains data from the granulometric analysis of bottom sediments from the continental shelf of the chukchi and Bering Seas. The samples were taken on cruises of the MV Brown Bear (1959, 1960), USFWS John N. Cobb (1959), USS Burton Island (1960), USS Staten Island (1961), USCGC Northwind (1961, 1962, 1963), and USC+GSS Surveyor (1962). A total of approximately 600 samples of the bottom surface have been analyzed and the results are presented in this report. (Author) Contract AT(45-)-540, Grant NSF-GP-2457.
