1 As these records are apparently outside of the present range of the 

 species, the full description of the localities is appended. (See Geol. Surv. 

 Texas, IV, pp. 184, 185.) 



14< This locality is about three miles west of the town of Quanah, in Harde- 

 man County. Groesbeck is a tributary of the South Fork of Red River. The 

 south fork of the creek heads southwestward from the town of Quanah, and, 

 after forming a junction with the north fork, flows into the river a few miles 

 northeast of that town. The north branch has its source a little west of 

 Quanah, and flows almost east to its confluence with the south branch. Both 

 streams are fed by constantly flowing springs, rising from the massive gyp- 

 sum beds which underlie the whole country. 



"The limestone hills on both sides of the creek, near the junction of the 

 two branches, rise to the height of forty or fifty feet above the creek valley, 

 which is in places a mile or more in width. The creek has cut a channel 

 through this valley, which was the former flood plain, down into the massive 

 gypsum to the depth of twenty-five feet, and this channel, which is about 100 

 feet wide, now constitutes the flood plain of the stream, the water being con- 

 fined to a still deeper and narrower channel except at flood times. 



"At the top of the old flood plain, twenty-five feet above the present stream, 

 is the horizon at which the material was taken containing the shells men- 

 tioned as coming from the Forks of Groesbeck. The bed also contains parts 

 of fossil vertebrates, among which may be mentioned an elephant, horse, and 

 beaver, with others not yet determined. 



"It is evident that at one time there was much more water flowing down 

 this valley than at present, and that it spread out in a broad sheet. This must 

 have continued for quite a while as the drift material is often ten to twelve 

 feet thick. This locality is west of the Seymour plateau. 



2 "This locality is in the northeastern corner of Stonewall County, on the 

 east side of the Brazos River, and near the road at the crossing of the river. 

 The bluff on the river at this place, on the east side, is about thirty feet high, 

 composed of drift material. The beds from which the shells were taken is a 

 bluish clay, situated about ten feet below the top of the bluff and extending 

 several hundred yards along a hollow running back from the river. I also 

 saw the same clay in several other gulches running into the river. This ma- 

 terial was different from that composing the bluff of the river, which is a red 

 sandy loam, and seems to have been deposited against the older blue clay bed."
