Diamond back terrapins from the 'hatchery' on Pivers Island have covered some ground them . selves. For the first time, terrapin that first saw the light of day here have been sent to California for planting there. Shipped out in boxes exactly like those used for baby chicks they made a good trip with few casualties. This is the first effort made to naturalize the diamond back on the West Coast Once quite common in the South Atlantic States the ereat demand of gourmets for the celebrated terrapin stew exhausted our ter rapin stock. Since then nearly 200,000 have been hatched here for restocking areas. Terranins du not mature until they are five or six years old, but when thev are a bout a year old, they are able to protect themselves against sea guns, rats, hawks, and such, so Dr. Prytherch feels they are ready to oreaK home ties and thousands are sent out from here every year to be released in areas in which they have disappeared.
