Sandbanks on the Semliki (where I shot a strange turtle) [1907], 1907
Scope and Contents
A general view of sandbanks on the Semliki River. The turtle referred to is probably the one shot by Burton rather than Bell: 'Burton killed an extraordinary sort of turtle, with a soft flabby back and paws with long claws instead of the usual flippers. It looked like some antediluvian beast, and must have weighted fully 60 lbs.' (Bell 1907, March 1).
