Locality ivliere found, date, and collector's name. — Eotmd 

 in 1859 at Baddeck. Victoria county, on the northwestern side 

 of Little Bras d"Or lake. Cape Breton island {vide Dr. Honey- 

 man's original labeli. This is 8^ miles east-southeast of the 

 place where the femur was discovered. I had suspected that 

 possibly the tcoth might have been obtained at the latter place 

 and carried to Baddeck. but Duncan McEae assures me that 

 he never heard of such a tooth having been found on his farm 

 at Lower Middle River. It was presumably found bv a 

 resident of the district, but his name is not now known. Dawson 

 is in error in saying it was di.scovered bv r)r. Honeyman. 

 Strange to say, Hon. W. F. McCurdy. of Baddeck, writes me 

 that he has been unable to find anyone who now knows any- 

 thing of such a tooth having been found at Baddeck or Baddeck 

 river. 



Donor s name. — Dr. Kier of Princetovm. Prince Edward 

 Island, obtained it from the finder, and shortlv prior to 1862 

 gave it to Dr. Honeyman. who deposited it in the Provincial 

 Museum in 1868, where it is still preserved.
