In turtles the front feet have five toes, the rear four, with the same number of claws. The marine types are 
exceptions, having flipper-like feet. The scutes of the shell are quite often of the same number and as a 
result diagnosis of species is very difficult. 
All the other dracones [dragons] listed by authors are fictitious, like the HYDRA, Seb. mus. 1. 1 . 102. f. 1 
which I saw at Hamburg, but which was an outstanding work, not of nature, but of art.
