"n Leg 16 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project in February and March, the Glomar Challenger sailed from the Panama Canal to Hawaii. We had these main objectives: 1) to examine the ages of basement, strati- graphic sections and depositional histories of the ridges surrounding the Panama Basin, and 2) to complete a series of holes begun on Legs 5, 7, 8, and 9 to delineate the tectonic and depositional history of the eastern equatorial Pacific. We drilled 9 sites on Leg 16 of which 8 were successful (see table) and the ninth had to be abandoned because we encountered hard forma- tion at the surface. Experimentation with the new reentry system took place at the last site. Panama Basin—This basin is bordered by the Cocos and Carnegie ridges in the west and south (see chart). Its northern limit is the continental margin of Central America; its eastern limit, northeastern South Am
