tlon made public statement prepared
by Prof c. A. Kofoid of the University
of California that port charges on ships

worm could be eliminated.
The discovery OF teredo navalis in
Barnegat Bay and the possible danger

wooden piling and submerged wooden
structures from mid tide level to the mud
line. Untreated piles in heavily infested

"Shipworms are highly modified mol
lusks related to the clam. but wormlike
in appearance. AS Larvae on wooden
surfaces, they excavate minute holes
and as they penetrate they grow and
enlarge their burrows, until the timber
isl completely riddled. though no ex-
ternal evidence of the damage Is visible
until the pier collapses."
