Remains of the extinct broad-fronted bison have been discovered in Kentucky, Missis- ' 

 sippi, Texas, and Georgia, in association in these different localities with remains of 

 Ekphas, Mastodon, Megatherium, Megalomjx, Mylodon, Ereptodon, Equus, Cervus, Cants, 

 Ursus, Felis, etc. 



In the collection of Capt. Bowman, there is a second premolar tooth of the right side of 

 the upper jaw, from the Post-Pleiocene formation of the Ashley river, which I suspect to 

 belong to the Bison latifrons. The specimen presents nothing characteristically different 

 from the corresponding tooth of the recent bison. It is represented in figures 15, 16, 

 Plate XVII, and its crown measures eleven lines in antero-posterior and transverse 

 diameter.

Remains of a species of ox, of the size of the recently introduced domestic animal, found 

 mingled with Post-Pleiocene fossils on the banks of the Ashley river, are considered to 

 belong to the latter.

Remains also of the domestic sheep, are found mingled with the Post-Pleiocene fossils 

 of the Ashley river.
