TURTLES

MYSTERIES

TURTLES may give seientists a vital clue to the mysterious life of the ocean.

In a fortnight four tropical turtles were found stranded on the South Coast one at Tenby, two at Bognor, and one at Selsey Bill. A fifth was reported at Plymouth. This is the first time so many have been dis- covered in such a brief period.

"During my 14 years' experience only two stranded turtles from foreign waters have come to the Natural History Museum," the assistant keeper said.

"We should be grateful for any reports of large turtles seen at any point along the coast."

The museum has only six spect- mens of tropical turtles washed ti on the British coast. One, caught, in a submarine net off the Scilly Islands during the war, was 5ft. long and weighed, 1,000.

THERE is a lot of fun in figures-if you have a domed brow packed with expert knowledge.
