Molar. This un-

Molar. This Mammoth of the New World, similar to, if not identical with

 dently fitted for a warmer climate than the Old World species since the fossils are 

 most abundant in the Mississippi valley. This grinder was found in the surface 

 Alluvium at Homer, Cortland County, New York, and is in the Academy at 

 Homer. Size, 12 x 6. Price, $2.25.
