Cooper refers to remains of this species at Big-bone-lick, Kentucky. Hall mentions 

 remains found in association with those of Mastodon, in Cattaraugus and Green Co., 

 New York. 



The Museum of the Academy contains a number of specimens consisting of bones, 

 teeth, and fragments of antlers, some found in association with remains of Mastodon, 

 or in similar positions and with those of other recent animals. The specimens are 

 from near Natchez, Mississippi ; from the banks of the Ohio Eiver, near Evansville, 

 Indiana ; from loess in the valley of the Vermilion, Illinois ; from a railroad cutting 

 near Aberdeen, Munroe Co., Mississippi ; and from Burlington and Monmouth 

 Counties, New Jersey. 



Baird speaks of large numbers of remains of the Deer found with those mostly of 

 other living animals, in a cave near Carlisle, Cumberland Co., Pa. The Academy 

 also possesses similar remains from Durham Cave, Bucks Co., Pa. 



Emmons mentions the fragment of an antler of the Deer found in a miocene bed in 

 North Carolina, and views it as a fossil of the age of the bed. This view is certainly 

 incorrect. Several of the specimens in the Museum of the Academy were taken 

 from the marl beds of cretaceous age in New Jersey, but evidently are to be con- 

 sidered as accidental occupants of the formation in which they wei'e found. 



The Odocoileus speleus of Rafinesque is based upon an upper premolar of the Deer 

 from Carlisle Cave, and the Mazama Salinaria on the prong of an antler of the same 

 animal from Kentucky. His Panallodon also appears to have been founded on a por- 

 tion of the lower jaw of the Deer.
