102 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT. 
Megalonyx jeifersonii, reported by Leidy. 
Manatus antiquiis, reported by Leidy. 
Hoplophorus euphrcictus, reported by Leidy. 
'Other vertebrates obtained from this locality, the reference of 
which to the Pleistocene lacks confirmation, include Hipparions as 
well as some turtles and fishes. These are listed in Leidy’s paper 
published in 1889*. A fauna similar to that at Peace Creek is 
found on Hillsboro and Manatee rivers and may be expected 
on many of the streams of the southern Gulf Coast. 
Caloosahatchee River. — A few vertebrate fossils have 
been obtained from the Caloosahatchee River. Some of 
these were found in place in muck and sand lying 
above marine shell marls, while others were found ly¬ 
ing loose in the river, having been washed out from the beds in 
which they were contained. All, however, came with little doubt 
from above the marine shell marls, and hence are of Pleistocene 
age.f 
PLEISTOCENE VERTEBRATES FROM THE CALOOSAHATCHEE RIVER. 
Mylodon sp. 
Elephas columbi. 
Equus f rat emus, reported by Leidy. 
Bison sp., reported by Leidy. 
PLEISTOCENE VERTEBRATES FROM OCALA. 
In 1888 Mr. Joseph Willcox obtained a very interesting small 
collection of fossils from a crevice in the limestone at Ocala and in 
recent years additional collections from this locality have been 
made by the Florida State Geological Survey. The openings in 
the limestone represent solution channels. The fossils are found

tin his extended paper on the Geology of Florida, Bull. 84, U. S. Geol. Surv. 
p. 129, 1892, Dr. Dali has inadvertently referred to Bison latifrous, Elephas 
columbi and Equus fraternus as having been obtained from the Pliocene beds of 
the Caloosahatchee River. The horse and elephant remains were collected by 
Mr. Joseph Willcox, who states that the elephant remains were in place above 
the shell marls and that the horse was lying loose near the edge of the water 
and had fallen from above. (Personal letter, Oct., 1914.) The writer has also 
taken Elephas columbi and Equus sp. from the sand and muck above the Plio¬ 
cene and Pleistocene shell marl of this river.
