The numbers listed here are taken from a computer iisting which
summarizes sample entries.
The actual count of samples which
appears in our final report may differ slightly from the above.
We are in the process of eliminating certain entry duplications
due to mistakes in Sample ID numbers.
Until these corrections
have been completed, the above listing is subject to revision.
Another uncertainty lies in the designation of sediment samples
and core samples.
Sediment sample designation refers to grab
samples taken from the bottom of the lagoon while core sample
designation implies sectioning as a function of depth.
Since
we haven't attempted to keep these two categories separate, the
proportion of each is somewhat uncertain but the total number
is accurate.
