Abstract
In Reference A and Reference B, it has been pointed out that the acoustic properties of bottoms classified as MUD on the present Bottom Sediment Charts appear to vary greatly. The present memorandum is divided into two parts . Part I summarizes the acoustic information obtained over MUD bottoms that is in the files of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Part II discusses the factors that apparently control the acoustic behavior of MUD bottoms and considers the probability or predicting successfully the acoustic behavior of any mud from a study of these related factors.
