     [1913 Webster]

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 :   [ gcide ]

  Turtle \Tur"tle\, n. [Probably the same word as the word
     preceding, and substituted (probably by sailors) for the
     Spanish or Portuguese name; cf. Sp. tortuga tortoise, turtle,
     Pg. tartaruga, also F. tortue, and E. tortoise.]
     [1913 Webster]
     1. (Zo["o]l.) Any one of the numerous species of Testudinata,

     Note: In the United States the land and fresh-water tortoises

     green turtle (Zo["o]l.), a marine turtle of the genus
        Chelonia, having usually a smooth greenish or
        olive-colored shell. It is highly valued for the delicacy
        of its flesh, which is used especially for turtle soup.
        Two distinct species or varieties are known; one of which
        ({Chelonia Midas) inhabits the warm part of the Atlantic
        Ocean, and sometimes weighs eight hundred pounds or more;
        the other ({Chelonia virgata) inhabits the Pacific Ocean.
        Both species are similar in habits and feed principally on
        seaweed and other marine plants, especially the turtle
        grass.
  
     Turtle cowrie (Zo["o]l.), a large, handsome cowrie
        ({Cypr[ae]a testudinaria); the turtle-shell; so called
        because of its fancied resemblance to a tortoise in color
        and form.
  
     Turtle grass (Bot.), a marine plant ({Thalassia
        testudinum) with grasslike leaves, common about the West
        Indies.
  
     Turtle shell, tortoise shell. See under Tortoise.
        [1913 Webster]
