datum levels in the North Pacific. Thanks are also extended to Mr. L. Keigwin, Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island, for permitting the use of unpublished oxygen isotope data from DSDP Site 310. Samples from DSDP sites were provided by the National Science Foundation. This research was supported by the Danforth Foundation and, in part, by NSF Grant OCE 76-82181 (CENOP).

This paper is part of my Ph.D. dissertation for which I would like to acknowledge the support of my research advisor Dr. James C. Ingle, Stanford University. I am also grateful to Dr. J.A. Barton, United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, and to Dr. L.H. Burckle, Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory, for many helpful discussions regarding diatom

N2 - Continuous late Neogene planktonic foraminiferal records have been studied in the deep-sea cores of DSDP Sites 173, 310, and 296 across mid-latitudes of the North Pacific. These three sites have been correlated on the basis of planktonic foraminiferal events and major paleoclimatic/paleoceanographic intervals and tied to diatom, radiolarian, and nannofossil datum levels, and paleomagnetic and isotopic stratigraphy. Ten planktonic foraminiferal datum levels have been recognized within these Pliocene to Pleistocene sections; two of these are recognizable within the Pleistocene and eight within the Pliocene. Six planktonic foraminiferal zones are proposed which combined with the foraminiferal datum levels provide a high resolution biostratigraphic correlation for the mid-latitudes of the North Pacific.
