of every hiding place in the tank.
The musk turtle is a rather de-
liberate swimmer and loves to go
on exploring expeditions either in
his captivity tank or his beloved
muddy stream. After long time
below, the turtle will come to the
surface for fresh air.
These turtles rarely leave the
water. The mother goes ashore to
deposit her eggs, shallow pocket
in the sand being made for this
purpose. Then she returns to the
water. The small turtles have to
shuttle for themselves when they
leave their shells. One thing they
inStinctively do-trek for the water.
OF course, some of them no doubt
fall prey to enemies, but few ever
see the small musk turtles trying
to reach the water and safety.
The Identification marks of this
turtle are easily remembered. The
upper shell is narrow and oval and
arched to a high degree. The
younger generation have strongly
keeled upper shells, and as they
grow older, the keel disappears. The
lower shell or plastron is very mar
row and much shorter than the
upper one. None of the lobes are
capable of being drawn upward to
any appreciable extent. With the
younger turtles they are rigid, and
the rear part remains immovable
until the turtle is grown.
The head of the musk turtle is
large, with tapering, conical snout.
The feet are broadly webbed. There
are markings on the head that will
help you to identify it. Two bright
stripes of yellow extend from the
tip of the snout to the neck. One
OF these stripes passes over the eve.
the other one extends backward
beneath the eye, running parallel
with the line of the jaw, finally
bending slightly downward behind
the angle OF the mouth and follow
ing this line to the neck.
Old musk turtles are lusterless
brown and usually covered with
moss. That shows you how slow
going the older generation is.
You will find musk turtles from
Southern Canada to the Gulf of

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Few come in contact with the
pugnacious little musk turtle, dwell
ing in the slow-running streams
and muddy rivers. Those who do,
however, are amazed at the hostile
attitude of the turtle and realize
how much like it's older and larger
cousin, the swapping turtle, it is.
If any one is foolish enough to try
to capture this turtle, strong and
lasting odor of musk will prevent
him from getting the experience
out of his mind. No matter how
strong the soap or hot the water,
that musk odor clings and it is a
disagreeable odor. This is the
weapon bestowed upon the turtle,
and like the perfume of the skunk,
once a whiff of it is sprayed upon
your flesh or on your clothes, it has
staying qualities that are almost
unbelievable.
Out in the open, the hostile musk
turtle seems to go about in the
shallow waters with chip on his
shoulder" but in captivity, he is
a timid creature, taking advantage

Mexico, westward to Illinois In the
North and to Texas in the southern
part of its range. There are many
OF these turtles and they are heart
lily disliked by anglers, who some
times find them on the end of their
line. There is usually much to do
about getting the matter straight
ened out and there are always hard
feelings over the affair AS far as
I have been able to learn, the turtle
and the flsermen are allergic to-
