Damage In N. Guinea
A SURVEY of marine borers in New Guinea waters has been carried out by the Australian CSIR. As a result of this, a report has been issued (Bulle tin 223) which shows how damage re sulting from the activites of these creatures can be checked.
The Bulletin, which can be obtained from the CSIR, provides information on the general nature of borer attack, the kind of borers responsible for damage in New Guinea waters, and a comprehensive list of resistent timbers and methods of protection of non-resistent timbers.
