So blaze away at the 'gators, O ye Florida tourists! you will not kill many of them, anyway: their shells are too thick, but spare the pelicans, who are a harmless race of fisherfolk, like ourselves. There were great numbers of large turtles in the lake, Chelonura and Trionyx, from two to three feet long; gar-fish also, almost as big as the alligators.
Among the Turtles is Emys picta, Chelonura serpentina, and Cistuda clausa. Of the Frogs, we have Rana sylvatica, Rana palustris, and Rana pipiens, nearly two feet long, and loud-voiced in proportion, a Bull-Frog, indeed! Various theories and speculations have been formed as to the origin of the prairies.
