Abstract

The paper records the planktonic foraminiferal genus Hantkenina Cushman from Baratang Island, Andaman. The specimens of Hantkenina were recovered from the clayey sediments ejected from mud vo1canoes. Besides the genus Hantkenina, the clay material also yielded abundant and mixed assemblage of foraminifera ranging in age from Late Cretaceous to Eocene. The present finding of the genus Hantkenina suggests the presence of Late Eocene subsurface sediments on Baratang Island.
