Elephas columhi. Columbian mammoth, (i) One-half of 

 the tooth of a mammoth was found in the spring of 1917 on the 

 Beeson and Holden farm in Section 6, NE. \, Township of Galien, 

 by D. H. Beeson while cultivating corn. Two weeks later the 

 other half of the tooth was found. The specimen is now in the 

 Chamberlain Memorial Museum of Three Oaks. 



The specimen is a well-worn lower third molar having twenty 

 ridge-plates, but some of the ridge-plates have been worn out and 

 lost. Seven and a half ridge-plates are included in a 100 mm. line. 

 The greatest length of the tooth is 280 mm. and its greatest 

 breadth 95 mm. 



(2) A complete set of mammoth teeth with some portions of 

 the bones was found about the year 1900 on a farm two miles 

 southeast of Three Oaks owned by E. K. Warren. They were 

 discovered while digging post holes. The specimens are on exhi- 

 bition in the Chamberlain Memorial Museum. 



One of the teeth sent us for identification proves to be a partly 

 worn lower third molar having twenty-four ridge-plates. There 

 are seven and a half ridge-plates in 100 mm. The greatest length 

 of the tooth is 350 mm. and its greatest breadth 95 mm. 



(3) There is another record of a mammoth tooth which was 

 found at an unknown location in Berrien County. It was at one 

 time owned by Mr. Smith, who gave it to Dr. Crane. Its present 

 whereabouts is unknown.
