which is one of Professor Scott's generic characters of Cervalces {I. c, 

 p. 183) is my chief reason for referring the specimen to that genus. 

 The premolar here referred to is larger than that of C. vapiti, but pro- 

 portionally narrower. It is, however, considerably smaller than that 

 of Alces, and furthermore differs from the latter by having a relatively 

 smaller transverse diameter, and deeper concavities of the outer face 

 of the ectoloph. 



Cervid. sp. ind. 



An astragalus (No. 3951, C. M. Cat. Foss. Vert.) was found by the 

 writer in the same place in which the remains just described were col- 

 lected. This bone agrees closely with the same bone in Oidocoileus 

 virginianus, but is too large for that species, and much too small to 

 represent a moose. 



Order PERISSODACTYLA. 



Subfamily Equinae. 



Gen. Equus sp. ind. 



An upper molar of the left side was found in the opening at Salt- 

 ville and presented to the high school of the place by Mr. George 

 Lipperd. The tooth represents a fully adult animal, but is too much 

 mutilated to permit correct identification. 



Order PROBOSCIDEA. 



Subfamily Mastodontin^. 



Genus Mastodon. 



Mastodon americanus Kerr. 



Remains of mastodons are by far the most common in the Saltville 

 deposit. Isolated teeth, fragments of jaws, portions of vertebrae, ribs, 

 limb-bones, and foot-bones of both adult and young individuals are 

 frequently found while working in this locality. Not only at the 

 opening at "Well No. 69" but at different other places throughout the 

 valley remains of mastodons have been picked up from time to time 

 for a number of years past and are now located in different institutions. 

 A few fragments of teeth and other bones were collected for the Car- 

 negie Museum. While fragments of ribs were plentiful, no complete 

 rib was found.
