A wide variety of sediment types (red clays, carbonate oozes, and siliceous clays) were cored using the hydraulic piston corer on Leg 86 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project in the Northwest Pacific. Physical property data for all these sediments are presented in the form of tables and graphs. Measurements include bulk density, water content, gamma ray attenuation porosity evaluation (GRAPE), shear strength, compressional and shear wave velocities, consolidation, and permeability. Sample quality for the most part was considered good; however, some systematic downcore disturbance was found in the red clays. A significant difference between shipboard and shore-based gravimetric measurements was found and was correlated with sea state. The siliceous clays exhibited little progressive consolidation downhole, whereas the red clays were found to be normally consolidated below 20 m. Vane shear strengths ranged from zero to 1700 g/cm**2 in red clay at a sub-bottom depth of 170 m. Shear wave velocity correlated with vane shear strength and ranged up to 160 m/s in the red clay.
