Sediment samples from the Guadalupe Site Mohole drilling program of 1961 have been tested for sound speed and related physical properties. Laboratory measurements of sound speed have been corrected to in‐situ values by making corrections for the temperature gradient within the sediment body, for hydrostatic water pressures within sediment pore spaces, and for a small reduction in porosity. Resulting in‐situ sound speeds vary from 1,484 m/sec at the sediment surface to 1,584 m/sec at a depth in the sediment of 136 m. The resulting sound‐velocity gradient is approximately [Formula: see text]; the interval velocity is about 1,565 m/sec. Sound speed in the surficial sediments is about 2.2 percent less than in the water just above the sea floor.
