142 LIFE OF THE PLEISTOCENE 



Coupe, Berrien County (buried six feet beneath the surface). 65 Elephas jacksoni 

 ( = £- columbi) is reported as being found with antlers of the elk and deer. 



Additional proboscidian records are given by Wood 65a as follows: 



Elephas columbi. Jackson County. 



Elephas primigenius. Jackson, Van Buren, Macomb, and Clinton counties. 



Mammut americanum. Wayne, Van Buren, Eaton, Muskegon, Montcalm, 

 Gratiot, Saginaw, Jackson and Shiawassee counties. 



Castoroides ohioensis is reported from Lenawee and Lapeer counties, and 

 also from two other recently known localities, 66 near Owosso, Shiawassee 

 County, and in a tamarack swamp in Pittsfield Township, Washtenaw County, 

 lying on a bed of gravelly marl, beneath three feet of peaty soil. Platygonus 

 comp-essus has been reported 6611 from Belding, Kent County, in a peat bog. 

 Five individuals were found. 



Bootherium sargenti is reported by Gidley 67 from Moorland swamp, on the 

 Charles McKay farm, near Grand Rapids, in postglacial deposits. Case 67a 

 records a nearly complete skull of Symbos cavifrons, found on the farm of 

 Wm. J. Schlicht, about three miles northwest of Manchester. It lay in a bed 

 of clay four feet below the level of the rather swampy surface and was covered 

 by black muck filled with plant remains, a thin stratum of fine gravel separating 

 the two layers. 



V. OHIO 



1. Invertebrate Life 



No data are at hand bearing on the lacustrine or fiuviatile life of Ohio that 

 is referable to any of the Great Lakes stages. The beaches along Lake Erie, 

 especially in the old Fort Wayne outlet, 68 should yield good results when care- 

 fully examined. In the Geology of Ohio, Volume I pages 488-489, Read men- 

 tions a swamp behind an old lake beach at Ashtabula, Ashtabula County, 

 which should contain the remains of lacustrine life. 



Sterki 89 lists a number of mollusks from a sandy deposit (perhaps loess) 

 four miles east of Defiance, on the north bank of the Maumee River, at the 

 State dam. Nearly all are pulmonates.
