the Form of its Mouth. It is the Shell, or rather 
Scales of this kind, which are employed in fo many 
beautiful Works, and fo well known by the Name

all forts of Tortoife is very improperly called a 
Shell, it being of a perfedl bony Contexture, but 
cover'd on the out-fide with Scales, or rather Plates 
of an horny Subfiance, which are what the Work- 
men call Tortoife-Shell.

Species.
