brought to light. These also are in an excellent state of preserva ion, 
and the whole, when seen together, exhibit admirably the prominent 
characters of the species, as well as some structural peculiarities of much 
Scientific interest. 
€ remains are evidently those of the common Nath American mas- 
todon—M. Ohioticus (M. giganteus Cuvier). The imperfect ossification 
of some parts of the skeleton, especially the epiphyses, shows that the 
animal was comparatively young, while the absence of tusks from th 
lower jaw would indicate a full-grown female. _ 
he missing portions of the skeleton are without doubt in the same 
pot-hole, which contained those already found, and, although their recov-
