VERTEBRATES FROM MIOCENE, PLIOCENE AND PLEISTOCENE. IO v -> 
imbedded in sandy clay matrix which has washed into and filled

The Pleistocene fossils obtained at Ocala include tbe follow¬ 
ing: 
Equus Icidyi. 
Bison sp. 
Odocoileus sp. 
Dasypus sp. 
Sylvilagus sp. 
Procamelus sp. 
Elcphcis columbi.* 
Machairodus floridamis .* 
The camel from this locality was regarded by Leidy as prob¬ 
ably identical with the Procamelus minor from the lower Pliocene 
at Archer. If this is true it may indicate either a survival of this 
species from the Pliocene, or may be an inclusion of a Pliocene 
fossil from beds formerly present at this locality. It seems prob¬ 
able that the tooth represents a Pleistocene species as indicated 
by association with the other Pleistocene fossils, and in that case 
is likely to represent a species distinct from Procamelus minor. 
Sarasota Bay. —A number of Pleistocene fossils have been 
found on the Gulf Coast on and near Little Sarasota Bay. The 
collections have been made chiefly by Mr. Joseph Willcox, who ob¬ 
tained dermal scutes of Chlamytherium septentrionalis, and teeth 
of Elcphas columbi and Equus sp. The horse teeth are large and 
the enamel is folded in a complicated manner, but as the two teeth 
found are from the lower jaw it is difficult to determine to what 
species they belong. At Stump Pass east of Little Sarasota Bay, 
Mr. Willcox found a horn core and radius of Bison sp. This Bison 
presumably is the one which Leidy refers to as Bison latifrons .f 
Wakulla Spring. —A part of a skeleton of a mastodon or an 
elephant was obtained from Wakulla Spring by Mr. John L. 
Thomas. The parts preserved include some of the bones of the 
pelvis, tbe distal end of the femur, a complete tibia and a foot bone. 
It is reported that a much more complete skeleton of a proboscid¬ 
ian was obtained from this spring many years ago and was lost 
in transportation, the ship in which it was carried having been de-

Leidy as Rocky Creek, 30 miles north of Sarasota Bay, which, however, is a 
mistake, as the specimen according to Mr. Willcox was found at Stump Pass.
