The following specimens ivere obtained from regions almost within 

 the present range of Bison americanus, 2t'Ai"c7i noiu extends north- 

 ivard as far as the 63rd or 64th parallel. Since, however, the 

 fossil crania agree precisely ivith European specimens, and those 

 from Kotzebue Sound were obtained in company with remains 

 of Elephas primigenius and Ovibos moschatus, there seems every 

 reason for referring tJiem to the present species.
