The numerous relics of chelonia prove the existence of numbers of the turtle tribe in the North Sea.

I thought I could see floating on the surface of the waters enormous chelonia, pre-adamite tortoises, resembling floating islands.

At the present day the Chelonia alone include oceanic, fresh-water, and terrestrial forms.

Turtles and tortoises belong to the order known as Chelonia.

CHELONIA.-Anorder of Reptiles including the Turtles, Tortoises, etc.

The turtle-group (Chelonia) makes its appearance in the Triassic and thrives in the Jurassic.

Or to turn to the higher Vertebrata-inwhat sense are the Liassic Chelonia inferior to those which now exist?
