"As dunes may have made a marine shore
I see no reason why [illegible] and [illegible]
corals should not also be flown into
ancient dunes.
At South Beach there is another so-
called Alligator Farm. Snaked there
films at them. Was told that one of the
large specimens had been in captivity
twelve years and in this time had gained
3 inches. The young ones from last August
are now about 10 inches long. Can never even
so much better than the older individuals
at the end of the second year may attain
a length of about 24 inches.
Marine turtles are said to come up on
the shore here in July, August and either June
or September to lay their eggs. One was
in a tall of water and was very badly
regarded by an algae. It was one of
the injured alligators.
