Brady Collection. Purchased, 1878. 



The following specimens were obtained from regions almost within 

 the present range of Bison americanus, which now extends north- 

 ward as far as the 63rd or Q4t7i parallel. Since, however, the 

 fossil crania agree precisely with European specimens, and those 

 from Kotzebue Sound were obtained in company with remains 

 of Elephas primigenius and Ovibos moschatus, there seems every 

 reason for referring ttiem to the present species. 



44063. The calvarium and the right horn-core ; from a Pleistocene 

 deposit on the Upper Porcupine river, Canada (about lat. 

 67). Presented by the Rev. Robert McDonald, 1873.
