| Summary | Ninety species belonging to sixteen genera of calcareous algae are described and discussed. Four of the species are new. Most of the algae were obtained from holes drilled on Eniwetok, Funafuti, and Kita-Daitō-Jima; a few from outcrop samples. The several habitats occupied by algae on the existing reefs are briefly described. Algae are shown to have value as paleoecological indicators. They have contributed notably as rock builders. |
| Summary | The rocks containing the algae have been dated as: Recent and Pleistocene, Miocene, and Eocene. The algal floras from these units are quite distinct. Many of the species observed growing on the existing reefs occur in the Pleistocene limestones along with some additional forms. With the exception of the highly variable form designated as Lithoporella melobesioides (Foslie) Foslie, the Recent-Pleistocene, Miocene, and Eocene floras have no species in common. |
| Summary | Charts show the known geographic and geologic distribution of species. Details of the stratigraphic distribution of the algae in the drill holes are appended at the end of the report. |
