Abstract

The turtle is a reptile belonging to the order Chelonia. Because it is so very abundant and its size so convenient it has been much used for class work and to a certain extent has been studied rather thoroughly by private workers. Each one, however, stressing his or her own particular point of interest especially, the turtle is attractive to students of Comparative Anatomy because of the fact that it has retained more of the primitive characteristics of the ancestral form from which the mammals are descended than any other readily available reptile.
