In the central N Pacific Ocean the abyssal meio-benthic community is dominated by agglutinated foraminifera. We identify and illustrate 61 species from 5 replicate box cores recovered from that region. This provides a taxonomic base for 2 previous studies performed on the same material. A comparison of large N Pacific forms with an abyssal foraminiferal assemblage from the W N Atlantic (Nares Abyssal Plain), shows a similar species composition, indicating a wide distribution for many of these deep-sea agglutinated taxa. Differences in wall texture of agglutinated forms are apparently due to the random agglutination of available sediment. -from Authors
