This article is based on collections made during World War II by 
the author and other biologists employed by Woods Hole Oceano- 
graphic Institution on a survey of marine fouling. The research was 
conducted under supervision of Dr. Alfred C. Redfield and the late 
Dr. Louis M. Hutchins. It was done under contract with the Bureau 
of Ships, U.S. Navy, with invaluable logistic support from the U.S. 
Coast Guard. The author wishes to express deep appreciation to 
Dr. Redfield for his guidance and encouragement on this and other 
wartime investigations on the marine fouling problem. The author 
is indebted to Mrs. Lynn Rudy for illustrations and other assistance 
in the preparation of this paper. Thanks are due also to Dr. Thomas E. 
Bowman of the U.S. National Museum for a critical review of the 
manuscript.
