Paleontological studies conducted subsequent to the completion of Leg 133 led to refinements of the biostratigraphy for the Leg 133 sites. These biostratigraphic refinements bear on the calculations of sedimentation rates and on the age-depth plots prepared for the Initial Reports volume for Leg 133. To make available the revised data to anyone who may wish to make use of it, the revised biostratigraphic information is presented here in tabulated form. Revised age-depth plots also are presented for all of the sites to facilitate comparison of sedimentation rate curves and to identify intervals where significant changes have been made based on post-cruise studies. The revised age-depth plots include calcareous nannofossils only, and the revised data have been taken from thechapters contributed for this volume (Gartner et al., 1993, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.133.213.1993; Wei and Gartner, 1993, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.sr.133.216.1993). Planktonic foraminifer biostratigraphy revisions became available subsequently and could not be readily incorporated. The age-depth plots for Sites 812 through 818 were made with the (ADP) program provided to ODP by Dave Lazarus.

The book summarizes materials obtained by Soviet scientists during participation in legs of D/S Glomar Challenger and in post-cruise studies. Results on stratigraphy and lithology of the sedimentary cover, petrography and geochemistry of magmatic rocks of the oceanic crust are discussed in the book. A modern analysis of the geophysical structure of the oceanic crust and of the tectonic structure of the ocean floor is given.

The demand for an alternative and a high potency sweetener to substitute sugar increases year in year out, more so as a high percentage of the world population becomes increasingly diabetic. The alternative natural sweetener at hand has been Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, a plant species, native to Paraguay and a member of the family compositae. Stevia is usually propagated by stem cuttings due to low percentage (10 %) seed germination, thus limiting large scales cultivation. To cultivate this crop en mass therefore, there is need to evolve efficient rooting techniques. Influences of irradiation from light, and hormones on rooting have been reported. The rooting efficacy in stem cuttings of this crop under varying light wavelengths, dark and hormone factors was investigated. Evaluated parameters include- (i) day of root emergent, (ii) percentage of rooted cuttings, (iii) average number, (iv) length and (v) width, of roots. Analysis of variance at p<.05 revealed that the number, length and width, of roots differed significantly in each case at p<0.000. Light irradiation was highly effective and a necessary factor for rooting in stems cuttings of this crop. The red light-IBA combined factors served best in stem micro-cutting practice and facilitation of effective mass cultivation in stevia crop.

The monogragh contains results of mineralogicai and geochemical studies of Mesozoic and Cenozoic deposits from the Pacific Ocean collected during Deep Sea Drilling Project. Special attention is paid on the aspects of geochemical history of post-Jurassic sedimentation in the central part of the Northwest Pacific, detailed characteristics of the main stages of sedimentary evolution are given: Early Cretaceons (protooceanic), Late Cretaceons (transitional) and Cenozoic (oceanic). Results of mineralogical and geochemical studies of hydrothermal deposits from the Galapagos Rift are given as well.
