144 First Report on Economic Zoology. 



(2.) Since I last wrote you re Teredo and Canadian pine I find 

 the following species occur in Canada : Tereda dorsalis (tlie commonest 

 species), Xylophaga fimbriata, and X. hi])innata on the "West Coast, 

 and Teredo megotcira on the East Coast. 



The species occurring on the United States coast (Massachusetts) 

 ai'e T. navalis, T. nurvegica, T. dilatata, T. chlorotica and X.fimhriata. 



T. norvegica occurs in oak, fir, and birch, and is found in Europe 

 as well. T. navalis in fir, elm, etc. ; also in Europe. T. megotara in 

 any wood ; also European. X. hipinnata occurs in Europe, "West 

 Indies, etc., in almost any wood. X. fimhriata has also occurred in 

 teak in Em-ope. 



The only Teredo quoted from South Africa is T. {Hypcrotus) 

 nucivora of Spengler, which bores into floating cocoa-nuts. Tins 

 species Mr. Edgar Smith says he believes to be only tropical and 

 sub-tropical. Teredos which bore into wood, floating or otherwise, 

 may be found anywhere, and doubtless have a very wide range. 

 They may be carried very great distances by ocean currents.
