310 LIFE OF THE PLEISTOCENE 



Gibson County; Princeton, in excavation for sewer in west Chestnut Street, 

 at depth of 6 feet. 119 



Jackson County; in bank of Judah Creek, a branch of Mill Creek. 120 



Martin County; near Shoals, brot up on a fishing line. 121 



Switzerland County; in gravel bank at mouth of Grant's Creek; river bank 

 near Patriot; river bottom, five miles below Vevay; Laughery Creek, above 

 Hartford ; Rising Sun, on river bank. The exact age of these remains, consist- 

 ing of teeth and tusks, is in question. 122 Some of them are probably of Sanga- 

 mon age. 



Franklin County; near Brookville, at three localities; a mile below Brook- 

 ville; three and a half miles from the town, in gravel in the upper terrace, 

 8-9 feet below the surface; three and a half miles northwest of Brookville, in 

 a piece of marshy ground which had been ditched. 123 The last reference may 

 belong to post-Wisconsin time, but the first two were found in gravel which 

 antedates the Wisconsin stage. 124 



Elephas columbi and E. primigenius are both known to have lived in Indiana 

 but the horizon of most of the "finds" is doubtful. The following may have 

 been from Sangamon strata: 



Elephas primigenius. One and a half miles below Vevay, Switzerland Coun- 

 ty, on shore of Ohio River. 125 



Elephas columbi. Fifteen miles west of Brookville, Franklin County, in a 

 gravelly bank of Salt Creek (Butt's Fork). 126 In Vigo County, near Terre 

 Haute, on a farm, a lower molar tooth was found at a depth of 18 feet. 127 As 

 Terre Haute lies near the edge of the Wisconsin drift sheet, which is here under- 

 laid by Illinoian drift, the inference is that at this depth (18 feet) the deposit 

 would cover the Illinoian drift, and the tooth would be of Sangamon age. 



The remains of elephants, the species of which are not indicated, have been 

 found in strata possibly referable to the Sangamon interval. Many years 

 ago Plummer reported a tusk from near Brookville, dug from the Whitewater 

 canal at a depth of 15 feet, the deposit being gravel. 128 The mammoth has 

 been reported from Martin County 129 (near Shoals) but these remains cannot 

 be referred to any definite horizon.
