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 (the commonest 
species), Xylophaga fimbriata, and X. bipinnata on the West Coast, 
and Teredo megotara on the East Coast. 
The species occurrlhg on the United States coast (Massachusetts) 
are T. navalis, T. norvegica, T. dilatata, T. chlorotica and X. fimbriata. 
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. bipinnata occurs in Europe, West 
Indies, etc., in almost any wood. X. fimbriata has also occurred in 
teak in Europe. 
The only Teredo quoted from South Africa is T. (Hyperotus) 
nucivora of Spengler, which bores into floating cocoa-nuts. This 
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.
