across the front and rear of the crown. The mesostyle is marked 
off from the metaconid by a very shallow groove. While the 
crowns of all the other teeth are very black, that of No. 1637 is 
brownish yellow. It may be a milk tooth. Although these teeth 
probably belong to an undescribed species of Parahippus it seems 
to be better not to apply to them a systematic name until after 
better materials, especially upper molars, shall have been found. 
Figure 1 of plate 8 represents No. 1638; figure 2, No. 1636, both 
one-half larger than the natural size. 
The writer has studied a fragment of an upper jaw, with mo¬ 
lars of a Parahippus, which was found in phosphate deposits near 
Charleston, S. C. This jaw belonged to a much, larger species than 
that which is represented by the teeth here described from New- 
berrv, Florida. 
FAMILY CERVIDAE. 
ODOCOILEUS OSCEOLA (BANGS). 
Plate 8, figs. 3-5. 
In the collection of the Florida Geological Survey are some 
teeth which belong to Odocoileus and perhaps to the species now 
existing in Florida, O. osceola. By many this form is regarded 
as only a subspecies of 0 . virginianus. Of these teeth there are 
an upper right second molar (No. 1443), an upper left probably first 
molar (No. 1439), a lower right second molar (No. 1379), two 
lower left third molars (Nos. 1446, 1448), and, a lower right third 
molar (No. 1424). 
All of these teeth were found near Dunnellon, Marion county, 
in the “Cullens river mine,” and were presented by Messrs. Schil- 
mann and Bene. 
For purposes of comparison measurements have been secured 
from two skulls of the deer now living in Florida. These belong 
to the Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture. One, 
No. 167764, is that of a doe which was obtained at St. Vincent; 
the other, No. 58292, that of a buck which was secured in Osce¬ 
ola county. The basilar length of the doe’s skull is 221 mm.; that 
of the buck, 270 mm. The length of the teeth is taken near the 
middle of the width, while the width is taken across the front lobe 
and at the base of the crown.
