stroyed off the Florida Keys. The tooth of Manimut americaniim 
has been obtained also from Little River in Gadsden County. 
Withlacoochce River .—The Withlaeoochee River cuts through 
the Pleistocene and Pliocene and into the Eocene. Among the 
fossils dredged from the river which may be referred to the Pleis¬ 
tocene since they are known from undoubted Pleistocene elsewhere 
are the following: 
Pleistocene vertebrates from the Withlaeoochee River: 
Bison sp. 
Tapirus haysiif. 
Mammut americanum. 
ElepJias columbi. 
Odocoileus sp. 
Trichechus manatus. 
Equus leidyi. 
Ursus sp. 
Chlamytherium septentridnalis. 
LOCALITIES FOR PLEISTOCENE VERTEBRATES ON OR NEAR THE 
ATLANTIC COAST OF FLORIDA. 
The several new localities for Pleistocene vertebrates on or 
near the Atlantic Coast are similar in their stratigraphic position. 
The fossils in all cases are found either in the Pleistocene shell 
marl which borders the Atlantic Coast or in the sand, clay and 
muck beds which lie above this marl, the greater number of speci¬ 
mens doming from above the marl. That the shell marl is of Pleis¬ 
tocene age has been fully established by a study of the invertebrate 
fossils. As early as 1824 Thomas Say reported upon the shells con¬ 
tained in this marl at St. Augustine, where it is known as “Co¬ 
quina rock.” In 1908 in connection with co-operative work car¬ 
ried on by the Florida State Geological Survey and the United 
States Geological Survey, collections of invertebrates were made 
from the shell marls at Eau Gallie, Titusville, Mims, Ormond, 
West Palm Beach and at many other localities. A list of the in¬ 
vertebrates from the marl at Eau Gallie showing it to be of Pleis¬ 
tocene age will be found on page 151 of the Second Annual Report 
of the Florida Geological Survey. 
It is known also that these Pleistocene shell marls form a con¬ 
tinuous bed extending many miles inland. Thus they have been
