Synopsis
Excerpt from The Turtles of New England
IN 1857, Agassiz wrote: To tell American students that little is known of the habits Of Turtles, the laying of their eggs, the growth of their young, etc., would perhaps excite a smile in those who, as boys, have been in the habit of collecting Turtles' eggs, egg-hunting being an occupation Of which boys are fond all the world over. Yet so it is: what every imbabi tant of the country may have seen again and again has not yet been collected in scientific works. The same conditions, although to a far less extent, still exist, and my aim in the present monograph has been to collect and classify what is known today of the life histories of New England Chelonians.
