Teredo, sp 



Paa station 353, 1333 fv., erholdtes et træstykke, 

 som var gjenneuiboret af en teredo. Desv;erre kunde hverken 

 dvr eller skaller trods ivrig søgen paavises. saa arten lader 

 sig ikke bestemme. Rørene har en diameter af 2V ^ mm.; 

 skulpturen bestaar af tykke noget uregelmæssige tverstriber. 



Vi giver en afbildning af exemplaret. 



A piece of wood was found at Station 353 (1333 

 fatiioms). jiierced through by a Teredo. Unfortunately, 

 notwithstanding careful searcli, neither animal nor valves 

 could lie discovered, so it is impossible to determine 

 the s))ecies. The tubes are ^Va mm. in diameter, and the 

 sculpture consists of broad, somewhat irregular transverse 

 grooves. 



We give a figure of the specimen. 



Paa station 312, G58 fv., fandtes hgeledes et træ- 

 stykke, der var gjennemboret af en teredo, som heller ikke 

 lod sig bestemme, da ogsaa her manglede Ijaade dyr og 

 skaller. Dennes rør har kun halv saa stor diameter som 

 ovennævnte : skulpturen er glat. 



Anothcr piece of wood that had been pierced by a 

 Teredo \vas found at Station 312 (658 fathoms). This is 

 also impossible to determine, as neither animal nor valves 

 were to be found. The diameter of tlie tubes is only 

 half that of the above. and the sculpture is smooth.
