DISTRIBUTION OF FORAMINIFERA OFF THE SOUTHERN ATLANTIC COAST OF THE UNITED STATES JAMES A. WILCOXON University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California! ABSTRACT Previous Work The Foraminifera from 98 s ta tions - intertidal zone to a depth of 1000 fms . - between Cape H a tte ras a nd Very little work has been done with the Forami the Florida S traits were s tudied. The Gulf Stream appar nifera from the southeast coastal area of the United ently restricts the bent honic specimens to the continental States. In 1920 Cushman undertook to describe the shelf and upper s lope, s ince f ew a re found deeper. The Foraminifera of the Atlantic Ocean with particular deeper benthonic specim ens ma y ha ve been dis placed from reference to the area adjacent to the coast of the sha llowe r w ater ; pla nktonic s pec imens are common. The number o f species inc reases with depth to the ou ter s helf , United States and the Caribbean Sea. This work was w ith a renaceous forms most common from 15-52 m. POl' primarily descriptive. Norton (1930) contributed an celaneous forms are m ost abundant nearshore, H yaline important study concerned with ecologic trends
