ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



Dr. Ruth D. Turner, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, 

 identified the marine borers. Dr. Jan Kohlmeyer, Institute of Fisheries Research, 

 University of North Carolina, examined the wood specimens for the presence of 

 deep sea fungi. Dr. A. M. Kaplan and Mr. Morris R. Rogers, U. S. Army Natick 

 Laboratories, Natick, Mass., arranged for the identification of the microorganisms.
