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
