356 LIFE OF THE PLEISTOCENE 



In his Catalog of Missouri Shells, Sampson adds the following localities 

 which may be referred, with some degree of assurance, to the post-Iowan inter- 

 val. 



Glascow, Howard County. 



Helicina occulta Polygyra multilineata 



Succinea otalis Pyramidula alternate 



Helicina occulta 



Helicina occulta 



avara 



Kansas City, Jackson County. 



Booneville, Cooper County. 



St. Joseph, Buchanan County. 



Helicina occulta Polygyra divesta 

 Bifidaria armifera " hirsuta 



Succinea grosvenori " monodon 



Pyramidula alternata 



Miss Owen 39 records a number of species from loess deposits in and near 

 St. Joseph. Whether all are referable to post-Iowan loess cannot be known 

 from the text, as no discrimination is made between the loesses. The following 

 species are listed, secured from depths of 12 to 50 feet below the surface. 



Helicina occulta P alula strialella ( = Pyramidula cronkheilei anthonyi, 



Succinea obliqua " alternata (= " alternata) 



Polygyra albolabris 



The five species which follow were taken from greater depths. 



Circinaria concava Succinea luteola™ 



Polygyra multilineata " grosvenori 



" avara 



9. KANSAS 



The bones of both the elephant and the mastodon have been found in the 

 loess near Manhattan, Riley County, but whether in post-Kansan or post- 

 Iowan loess is not stated. 41 Peorian fossils should be found in that portion of 

 the state covered by the Kansan drift.

40 This is certainly a case of misidentification, luteola being a southern species recorded 

 from Texas and Florida.
