Wyman Leidy 



Bison bison Platygomis compressus 



Odocoileus virginianus Procyon priscus 



Mammut americanum Anomodon snyderi 



Megalonyx jejfersoni Arctomys mpnax 



Tayassn tajacu? (lenis, probably) Geomys bursarins 



Canis occidenialis Microtus cf. pennsylvanicus 



" latrans Lepus sylvaticus (=Sylvilagus floridanus) 



Canis cinereoargenlatus 



Leidy 33 repeats this list in his great monograph. J. A. Allen 34 later added 

 two new species from this region and listed some others previously recorded, 

 his list being: 



Bison bison Antilocapra amerkana 



Mammut americanum { = giganteum) Cervus whitneyi (=Odocoileus whitneyi) 



Megalonyx Canis indianensis 



Platygonus species " mississippiensis (not dirus) 



Cervus canadensis 



McGee records 35 two species of mammals from JoDaviess County, Illinois, 

 near Dubuque, Iowa, and on an earlier page (135) of the same work lists two 

 additional species. 



JoDaviess County 



Bison latifrons Megalonyx jefersoni 



Near Dubuque, in crevice in Galena limestone, embedded in clay, 10 feet 

 below the surface. 



Megalonyx Tayassu tajacu? ( = T. lenis?) 



Many years ago, 36 Edward Daniels recorded certain animal remains from 

 the driftless area from deposits which are here correlated with the Peorian, tho 

 they may be of later date. Galba galbana is recorded from Jamestown and 

 Potosi, Grant County, in great abundance in clay, 20 feet below the surface. 

 The elephant and mastodon are listed from Fairplay and Potosi, and Elephas 

 from Sextonville, Richland County. 



7. INDIANA 



Post-Iowan loess probably caps the post-Illinoian loess in Indiana, particu- 

 larly along the Wabash and Ohio rivers and some of their tributaries. Few 

 references to this loess, however, have been noted in the literature. Leverett 37 

 cites the presence of a loess soil and weathered zone in western Johnson County.
