General Notes. 255 



the United States seems to be that by Sir John Richardson * based upon 

 several scapulae from Swan Eiver, near Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba. A 

 second northern record has been called to my attention by E. A. Preble, 

 that of a tooth recorded by Robert Bell, who says : " In the bed of the 

 Moose River, near the north side below the forks, 46 miles from Moose 

 Factory, a mastodon's jaw with one of the teeth was found by an Indian, 

 who broke out the tooth with his axe and carried it to Moose Factory." | 

 In comparison with the Klondike region, however, both of these localities 

 are not far from the center of abundance of mastodon remains. Wilfred H. 

 Osgood.
