known to lay from 100 to 800 eggs in

! Among the visitors to the famous tur-
ting grounds along the coast Of Flor
ida. inquiry is often made as to why
to the many varieties Of marine chelo-
mans found on the borders OF the
Gulf of Mexico 1t Is true that tor
toise is the correct name for all these
various species-both the land and the
marine species-as the name IS de-
rived from various French and Latin
words meaning twisted, crooked or
contorted, describing the crookedness
Of the curious feet and head protrud-
Ing from the tortoise shell. How the
tortoise of early days became known
| by the name of turtle Is explained by
the fact that certain species OF sea
| turtles show such great affection for
their mates. that the name of turtle
| (from turtle dove celebrated for the
constancy Of it's affection) came to
! be applied to them. Later the name
turtle was applied to many species OF
the marine tortoises, with turkey
frequently used for the species found

Of submerged land bordering famous
turtle streams, many interesting fea-
lures await the study of the northern
tourist. The green turtle Is the ia
vorite not only because of Its fame
in regard to green turtle soup but
also for the delicacy of its flesh for
various articles of diet. The tortoise
shell OF commercial value is also most
highly priced when secured from the
green turtle, with its delicate color
ings. Both the upper shell-the cara
pace, or carapax; and the lower she'll
the platron, are utilized for articles
and ornaments of commercial value.
The most common method OF prepar-
ing the shells for use is to soften
them by means Of boiling They are
then formed into various shapes. or
are f1attened by being passed through
press.
The Florida native entertains the
visitor with many interesting legends
and traditions concerning the numer
GUS turtles commonly known In the
early days as Chelonias. This name,
applied to various river and sea tor
toises. was derived. it's said, from
the beautiful nymph Chelonia Of
NEUROLOGICAL fame. According to the
legend, she alone of all the nymphs.
was not invited to the bridal of Zeus
and Hera, because she had amused
herself at the cost OF the immortal
couple. But Hera was not contented
with this vengeance. She made Mer-
curry throw the witty but unwise maid

metamorphosing her into q tortoise,
condemned her to carry 1t On her back
