TERTIARY FAUNA OF FLORIDA 



This species is represented by a short piece of tube, apparently teredine, 

 among Lea's types. De Gregorio, however (IVIon. Claib., p. 10, pi. i, figs. 

 30-33), has identified what he regards as a Scrpula tube from Claiborne with 

 Lea's species, and for the true Teredo tubes which occur in the Claiborne 

 sands has proposed the name of Teredo simplexopsis {op. cit., p. 236, pi. 38, 

 figs. 26 a-b, 1890), which probably may have to be regarded as a synonyme of 

 T. simplex, while the Serpula will need a new name.

Oligocene. 



1. Teredo incrassata Gabb (as Kuplms), Geol. St. Domingo, p. 249, 1873; 



Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 2d Ser., viii., p. 342, pi. 44, figs, \2a-c, 

 1 88 1. Oligocene of St. Domingo, Haiti, and Costa Rica, Gabb; and 

 of the Bowden marls, Jamaica, Henderson and Simpson. T. fistula 

 Guppy {lion H. C. Lea), from the Oligocene of Trinidad, is probably the 

 same.

Miocene. 



1. Teredo calamus H. C. Lea, Trans. Am. Phil. Soc, 2d Ser., ix., p. 234, pi. 34, 



fig. 4, 1845. Petersburg, Virginia. T. fistida of the same author {op. cit., 

 fig. 5) is probably identical, being from the same locality and differing in 

 little but size. 



2. Teredo (sp.) Conrad, Am. Journ. Conch., v., p. loi, 1870, is cited from the 



Miocene of New Jersey. 



3. Teredo (sp.) Merriam, Bull. Univ. Cal, ii.. No. 3, p. 104, 1896. Miocene of 



Vancouver Island ; should be compared with T. snbstriata Conrad. A 

 species of Teredo or some allied genus is abundant in the fossil wood of 

 the Miocene at Unga Island, Alaska. 



Pleistocene. 

 I. Xylotrya palmidata Leach is reported by Holmes (Post-Pleioc. Fos. S. Car., 

 p. 60, pi. 9, fig. 5, 1858) from the Pleistocene of South Carolina.
