General Notes. 255 



the I'nited States seems to be that by Sir John Ricliardson * based upon 

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

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

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

 Moose River, near the nortli side below the forks, 4() 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." f 

 In comi)aripon with the Klondike region, however, both of these localities 

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

 Osgood.
