Abstract
A FASCINATING discussion of this important subject appears as a paper included in the Proceedings of the Fifth Pacific Science Congress, 1933 (University of Toronto Press, 1934) by Prof. G. van Iterson, jun., of Delft. A statement by Klitarchus in 325 B.C. to the effect that the Romans conducted a successful expedition to the Island of Tylos in the Red Sea in search of some species of wood that could resist the attacks of the teredo is made the keynote of the address.
