ADDENDA 



The following records, received too late to be incorporated in the 

 body of the report, have been taken from Dr O. P. Hay's account of 

 " The Pleistocene of North America, and Its Vertebrated Animals 

 from the States East of the Mississippi River and from the 

 Canadian Provinces East of Longitude 95°," published February 

 1923, by the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Publication No.

Page 63. Mastodon: Erie county. A tooth found near the 

 mouth of Buffalo creek, and recorded by Barton (Phil. Med. 

 & Phys. Jour. v. 2, 1806, p. 157) is believed by Hay to belong 

 to a mastodon. 



Page 62. Mastodon: Niagara county. "At the museum of 

 Davis Brothers, at Niagara Falls, Mr B. U. Davis told the writer 

 that he owned two mastodon teeth which had been found in 

 digging for the foundations of the Tower Hotel, which faces 

 the Falls park." On later personal inquiry these specimens were 

 not to be found. 



Page 52. Mastodon: Orange county. " Dr F. A. Lucas, of 

 the American Museum of Natural History, New York, stated 

 in 1902 (Sci., 16: 169) that there is in Vassar College a skeleton 

 of a mastodon which is supposed to have been, found at 

 Newburgh." The mastodon at Vassar was mounted by Messrs 

 A. P. Wilbur and E. H. Eaton. Professor Eaton informs the 

 writers that most of this skeleton came from Circleville, Ohio ; 

 1 femur and one-half of the pelvis from Indiana, and the tusks 

 from southern Ontario. 



Page 55. Mastodon: Ulster county. "In Rutgers College, 

 New Brunswick, New Jersey, the writer has seen a tusk about 

 10 feet long, with a considerably spiral form, which is said to 

 have been found at Ellenville. It may, however, be the tusk of 

 an elephant." 



Page 236. Cervus canadensis : " Livingston county. In the 

 collection at Princeton University is a calvarium of an elk 

 labeled as found in Livingston county. The finder had, with 

 a tool, chopped off the antlers and otherwise hacked the skull. 

 One can not be certain as to the geological age of the specimen." 



Page 183. Equns: A brief account of a horse tooth said to 

 have been found 18 feet below the surface at Fort Schuyler, 

 Throg's Neck, New York, is given by Charles Whittlesey in

 from a deposit described as, " compact marine drift."
