On June 25, 1916, a Box Turtle was taken at the 

 edge of a Mastic wood road beside a large Boletus 

 scaber of which it had eaten a considerable portion 

 of the side. This particular Boletus is said to be an 

 excellent table species. 



Fifty-three more or less full-grown Box Turtles 

 which have been measured at Mastic had plastron 

 length.
