·TURTLY IN ITS CIVIC ASPECT. James Watt has left his record of one of the Philosophers' forile feasts: "When i ̧ was in ∙London in 1785, I was received very kindly by Mr. Cavendish and Dr. Blagdon and my old Iriand Smeaton. I dined at a turtle feast with them and the salect Olob of the Royal Society; and never was turtle eaten with greater sobrie- ty and temperauce, or more good fellowship,”

Turtle does not appear in bills of fare of entertainment given by Lord Mayors and Shariffs between the years 1761 and 1766, and It is not until 1768 that turtle is mentioned by same, and then in the bill' of the banquet at the Mansion House to the King of Denmark. Turtle, therefore, from a civic point of view, Is precisely and buadred and forty-one years cid, The Trade" calls turtles fish," and if they arrive dead they are termed "angels." The risk in transport is very great, in fact, the biggest dealer in London says it is as risky a business as horse-dealing. The mortality on the voyaga is considerable despite the fact that turtles are remarkably tenacious of life. It is, os record that a turtle's head, hours aftor it has been severed from the body, has taken hold of a piece of wood in lis monthy and one bas been known to have had its hand cut off in the avening by a cook, and knocked that cook down next morning with its fin.
