i6; A set of mastodon teeth, sound, though somewhat 
fractured ; found by ditching on E. Suffern’s farm, 32 
miles north of New-York city, and 11 miles west of the 
Hudson River, in New Antrim, Hempstead town, Rockland 
_ county, New-York. 
17. A tooth of the enormous mastodon which, with Pe- 
ter S. Townsend, Silvanus Miller, and other friends, I as- 
sisted in disinterring at Chester, in Orange county, 53 miles 
north of New-York city, during the year 1817. 
18 and.19. Decayed ivory of the tusks, which I received 
as Townsend handed them up from their muddy deposit ; 
the longer of which measured nine feet as it was raised, 
while the other was shorter. I refer to the chief portions 
of the skeleton, presented by the company on that memo- 
rable occasion to the Lyceum, for the fact that the right 
tusk was less elongated than the /eft, and more blunt or 
truncated than this. The dexter prong has plain proof of 
having been more worn, by the creature’s exercise, towards 
a stump, and as manifest indication that the owner had a 
preference to what the drivers of animals call the off-side 
limbs. 
20. Tusk of a young mastodon, from Kentucky, five 
inches long, and compact; found at Neville, in a tumulus 
with human bones, as the donor, Dr. Meigs, certified. 
21. Fragments of bones, apparently belonging to ceta- 
ceous animals, from Old Point Comfort, Chesapeake Bay. 
92. Entrochites in white flint. Green Brier county, 
Virginia. 
23. Bones of land animals, bark of trees, Sudatinee of 
sharks, and teeth of the same. Richmond, Virginia. Che- 
vallie’s well, from the depths of seventy-five to one hun- 
dred feet. 
24. A dozen of the curious fossils, by some compared to 
a nut, and by others to a flower, and yet by others to an 
echinus. Agatized, and perfect. Kentucky. About the 
size of hazelnuts. | 5:
