Abstract
Calculations confirm that the uplift of Barbados during the past 130,000 yr has been at nearly constant relative rates in the Clermont and Christ Church standard traverses, and that sea levels responsible for Barbados terraces I (82,000 yr B.P.) and II (105,000 yr B.P.) attained approximately the same level which was 20–25 m below the level represented by Barbados III (125,000 yr B.P.).Preference for the correlation of Barbados III with the prominent first interglacial 18O peak in stage 5 is stated once again. Further, correlation with Eemian and Pangaion of the European pollen record is suggested.Keywords
