Studied Recent benthic Foraminifera from the east coast of India and the southern part of the east coast of Japan and established foramgeographical affinity, found 122 common species from the two regions, although, fairly distant but within the warm water Indo-Pacific province. The 41 species, whose morphological comparison have been dealt in the study only 21 show ‘wide to moderate’ while the other 20 show inconspicuous range of intraspecific variations and also reported first time 26 of Recent benthic foraminifera species from the Indian waters.
