Additional lists have been published in the reports for 1906, 1907 

 and 1909. 



Further discoveries and items not before recorded are here given, 

 including several localities where mammoth remains have been 

 found. 



Onondaga county 



Near Salina. Two specimens of mammoth teeth in possession of 

 the Museum bear the label " Near Salina, N. Y." One speci- 

 men is a single nearly complete tooth ; its small size and immature 

 appearance stamp it as one of the milk teeth. The second specimen 

 is a fragment of a small tooth. 



Near Minoa. Specimens from a mammoth obtained from the 

 east side of Limestone creek near Minoa have been described by 

 Dr Burnett Smith. 1 The remains were unearthed during the con- 

 struction of the West Shore Railroad about 1883, and consist of 

 one tooth and parts of a tusk or tusks. The best preserved part of 

 the tusk and the molar are in the museum of Syracuse University. 



Wayne county 



Near Clyde. In November 1910 a mammoth tooth was received 

 from Mr William B. Landreth, deputy state engineer. A letter 

 from Mr B. E. Failing, resident engineer of Lyons, N. Y., gives 

 these details : " The mammoth tooth was found while excavating 

 for lock 26, Barge canal, 2 T / 2 miles east of Clyde, N. Y. It was 

 found about 100 feet from the Clyde river and 22 feet underground 

 in a layer of sand and clay, on top of gravel which appears to have 

 been the old river bottom." 



Near Savannah. In October 191 6 there were dug up in a gravel 

 pit near Savannah, two excellently preserved mammoth teeth con- 

 sisting of the back upper left and right molars. They were about 

 8 feet underground and 4 feet apart. These teeth have been pur- 

 chased by the Museum. 



In September of this year an additional find, consisting of the 

 right shoulder blade, was reported. The bone has been presented 

 to the Museum by Mr Gipson Mead of Savannah, N. Y. Recently 

 Prof. G. H. Chadwick has visited the gravel pit and his report is 

 here incorporated. 



The Savannah Mammoth. The gravel pit at Savannah from 

 which the two mammoth teeth and the shoulder blade were pre- 

 viously secured was visited on October 27th, at which time exca-
