Abstract
    Foraminiferal populations are described from a continental shelf and slope devoid of strong currents on the eastern side of North Island, New Zealand. The large numbers of living specimens per unit area suggest that productivity is high. Except on the turbulent inner shelf, the ratio of living to dead specimens correlates well with estimated rates of deposition. A method is evolved of estimating the contribution of each species to sediment accumulation at each site. Six, depth-controlled biofacies are described and compared with Tertiary forarniniferal biofacies. It appears that the estimated depth of deposition of some Tertiary neritic and bathyal faunas may have been somewhat underestimated.
