This report contains palynological data from DSDP Site 32, located in the
northeast Pacific Ocean approximately 380 km off the coast of California. The
data reported here consist of a matrix of absolute count data (numbers of
specimens) and a matrix of relative abundance data (percentages). These data
will be used in the future as a basis for making semi-quantitative and
quantitative estimates of climatic parameters during the Pliocene for western
North America. Only preliminary interpretations are presented in this report.

Leg 5 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP, now the Ocean Drilling Program,
ODP) drilled 12 sites in the northeast Pacific Ocean in 1969. Site 32 of Leg 5
was drilled near the seaward margin of the Delgada Fan, off the coast of
California, at 37 degrees, 7.63 minutes north latitude and 127 degrees, 33.38
minutes west longitude.
