Stran 152 - ... made by worms. But however efficient these boring animals may be in preparing the coral stems for decay, there is yet another agent, perhaps still more destructive. We allude to the minute boring-sponges, which penetrate them in all directions, until they appear at last completely rotten throughout.
Stran 513 - He reaffirms his opinion of the pro^ priety of the site, after considering this objection. In recommending lights for the western coast, I have not advised that any of them be revolving lights, except in the case of Point Conception, conceiving that at present, until facilities for repairs of machinery and the number of lights are increased, it is inexpedient and unnecessary to resort to such a distinction. Very respectfully, yours, AD BACHE, Superintendent United States Coast Survey. Hon. THOMAS...

The keys consist of an extensive range of low islands, rising but a few feet, perhaps from six to" eight or ten, or at the utmost to twelve or thirteen feet, above the level of the sea. They begin to the north of 'Cape Florida, where they converge towards the main land, extending in the...

Again, innumerable boring animals establish themselves in the lifeless stem, piercing holes in all directions into its interior, like so many augers, dissolving its solid connexion with the ground, and even penetrating far into the living portion of these compact communities.
