wooden box. To the small box can

termined whether it is best to send the

Turtles.
There are parts of 15 or 20 different
turtles. I do not know whether they
are the same species or not: If they are
I think in the lot I have all, nearly,
represented. The shells are all in a
fragmentary condition, some pieces perhaps
as large as one hand or longer.
The turtles are the most numerous.
The shelly turtle No. 10. (the most
complete one) I left near the bluffs and
did not have time to get it home but
can get it if necessary.
