| Description |
A systematic study of benthic foraminifera has been made on 42 sediment samples collected between Mandapam and Kodiyakkarai, off Palk Strait, Tamil Nadu, India. A total of 102 benthic foraminiferal species belonging to 52 genera, 38 families, 23superfamilies and 5 suborders are identified. The above species were compared to inventories given by earlier workers on east and west coast faunas. The result shows the presence of 38 species for the first time in this Strait. All these 38 species are illustrated here and their taxonomical details are provided. The foraminiferal distribution shows the number of species to be higher in the south of Manalmelkudi as compared to the north
