Studies in Foraminifera

The present volume of studies in Foramifera is divided into two sections: the first concerned with planktonic species and the second with benthonic species.

Part 1 has as its first objective the development of a logical classification of of the families and genera of the planktonic Foraminifera. Its second objective is to describe various planktonic faunules, presenting adequate illustrations and clear descriptions with the hope of progressing toward a better understanding of interregional correlations and perhaps eventually to develop a uniform world-wide zonation.

Part 2 of the volume is concerned is concerned with the revision of some existing genera, and the description of certain new genera and species of benthonic Foraminifera; soem of the papers being concerned with a taxonomic group of the papers being concerned with a taxonomic group, others with an ecologic or stratigraphic assemblage.
