This paper describes and illustrates some 275 species of foraminifera from the Upper Cretaceous and Lower Tertiary strata of two sections in the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. An attempt is also made to zone and correlate the strata of the two sections and to explain the peculiar temporal and spatial distribution of species in them. It is believed to have been caused by the type of basin in which the sedimentation of these two successions took place. The tectonic history of the basin is discussed, and its influence on the distribution of species is suggested.
