Brazilian Turtles.

The size Of these creatures
may be imagined from the
fact that the ilippers and feet
in crawling over the sand;
leave a track of two Irregular
grooves, three or four feet
apart, as though a wagon with
cog wh' els had been driven
over the ground. 1t is an
easy matter to find n turtles
nest by his track. She comes
out of the sea, and travels far
MP on the beach to lay her eggs
in the sand, digging a hole II
foot and a half or two feet
deep for the nest. Prof, Hart
who was in Brazil with Prof.
Agassiz, says he saw a turtle
deposit one hundred and forty
three eggs in one of these
nests. The eggs are all laid ut
one sitting then covered up
closely with the sand and left
to hatch. The eggs are rather
larger than hens eggs, round,
and covered with a tough
white skin. The Brazilians
eat the eggs, and also the flesh
of the turtle. The creature is
captured in a curious way.
Two persons go. behind it, and
taking hold Of the shell turn
the animal ON its back, in
which position it is at the
mercy Of its captors, as it IS
impossible for it to turn over
on its feet again. The hunters
are obliged to creep up
behind it cautiously, for as
soon as it rs alarmed, it thrusts
its fore paddles into the sand,
and throws it behind, so that if
tue pursuers do not quickly
close their eyes they are likely
to be be blinded.

SC CRIBNER'S MONTHLY
An illustrated Magazine for the People
Conducted by j. @. HOLLAND.

We have the pleasure of
presenting to the public our
plans for the coming year, be-
ginning with the third volume
in November. They involve
changes that are full Of encour.
agement to our selves, and Of
interest and advantage to our
readers.
The unprecedented pat
ronage that has been accroded
to our enterprise, has left us in
no doubt that all our attempts
at greater excellence and larger
results will be met with the
most liberal spirit on the part
Of the public. We have there
fore decided to enlarge the
magazine, and so to condense
It's materials, while preserving
its present large and beautiful
type, as to furnish the equiv
alent of thirty'two extra pages
of matter in every number, or
nearly four hundred pages a
year, This enlargement will
enable US, with every issue, to
present greater number of
illustrations, and o better
variety of articles than it
would otherwise be possible to
give, and help us to realize our
purpose to make the Monthly
in all respects the finest maga-
zine that can be made in
America. We wish to have it
distinctly understood, while
instituting this enlargement,
that we do not propose to pub
lish the largest magazine in
the world. We shall aim
simply, excluding all "padd-
ing to publish the best.
OUR CONTRIBUTORS.
We are constantly adding
to the number Of our contribu.
tors, who will continue to be,
as they have been among the
best who write the English
language in Europe and
America.
