The Mastodon Giganteus 



In 1852 I sent to the annals of natural history an account 

 of the exhumation of some Mammoth bones in cutting through 

 the drift at the head of Burlinirton Bay when forminp; the 

 Great Western Eaih-oad. This I believe was the first notice 

 of the finding of the remains of any of the large extinct Pro- 

 boscidians within the limits of this Upper Province ; and I 

 believe I am again to be the first to record the discovery of 

 fragments of an individual of the allied genus Mastodon which 

 I apprehend to be of the species most conimon in North Ame- 

 rica, the Mastodon Gi'jaii/cus. 



When at Niagara Falls last autumn my attention was called 

 to some fo.ssil bones in Barnett's museum. They consisted of 

 a beautifully perfect lower jaw, one perfect vertebra, some 

 others, and a rib partially destroyed by fire in eon-scqucnce of 

 having been thrown on a log heap when cleaning the land. 

 I had been in hopes of visiting the spot where they were found 

 before pulilishing this notice, but having been unable to do so, 

 1 will give Mr. Barnett's own discription of the locality: 



"The jaw and other remains of the animal were dug up at 

 a farm adjoining that of Mr Hugh Shanon in tho Township of
