 in association with those of extinct animals near Natchez, Mississippi, in New Jersey, and 

 in other localities. 



The collections of Prof. Holmes and Capt. Bowman contain fragments of antlers, 

 portions of jaws, and teeth, from the Post-Pleiocene beds of the Ashley river, not differing 

 from corresponding parts of the skeleton of the recent Cervus Virginianus, to which 

 species they probably belonged. See figures 1 to 4a, Plate XX.
