| Abstract: | SYNOPSIS. The foraminiferal distribution in samples from the Western Pacific collected in the summer of 1956 is presented, particularly those of the islets comprising Eniwetok Atoll. Some information is based upon samples taken shortly after atomic tests had been conducted. The distribution of foraminifera from northern islets where the tests were conducted is compared with that from the southern islets of Eniwetok Atoll. Collections from Eniwetok Atoll are compared with those made the same summer from other locations in the Southern and Western Pacific. A comparison is also made with the survey made by Cushman et al. of the Marshall Islands prior to bomb testing. |
