Marine Wood-Borers

Snow, Charles H.

The forms of marine life which attack wood are much more numerous than is commonly supposed. The wood-borer is for the most part concealed from view while at work. It is in consequence frequently dissociated from the subsequently discovered results of its labors. The Teredo Navalis, being common in Europe, where these forms of life were first studied, has become better known than its companions. Nearly every kind of boring found in wood which has been in sea water is in consequence very generally attributed to this animal. The Teredo Navalis is worthy of all the attention it receives, being important of itself, and also standing as a representative of its family. That there are other species of teredo than the navalis, and other wood-borers than the teredo, must, however, not be forgotten.
