eluding Tennessee (Guilday and Irving 1967), northwestern Georgia 
(Ray 1967), and Florida (Kurten 1966). 
Family Odobenidae 
cf. Odobenus rosmarus (Linnaeus) — walrus 
Material. —Cranial fragment (HS). 
Remarks . — This specimen has been tentatively referred to Odobenus 
rosmarus (Ray et al. 1968). 
Family Phocidae 
cf. Halichoerus grypus (Fabricius) — gray seal 
Material.— ChM.PV2283, partial right innominate. 
Remarks.— This specimen has been tentatively referred to Halichoerus 
grypus (Ray et al. 1968). 
Family Felidae 
Felis onca augusta (Leidy) — jaguar 
Material. — ChM.PV2284, right P 4 . 
Remarks.— This specimen is the first known occurrence of the species 
in South Carolina (Ray 1967; Kurten 1973). Fossil F. onca occurs 
throughout much of the conterminous United States, including localities 
in Florida (Webb 1974), Tennessee (Guilday et al. 1978), and one in 
northwestern Georgia (Ray 1967). 
Order Proboscidea 
Family Elephantidae 
Mammuthus cf. M. columbi (Falconer) — Columbian mammoth 
Material.— ChM.PV2291, right lower molar fragment; ChM.PV2287, 
left upper molar in two fragments; ChM.PV2288, two molar fragments; 
ChM.PV2289, lower right molar fragment; ChM.PV2292-2293, two 
molar fragments; ChM.PV2305, cuboid; ChM.PV2290, molar fragment; 
ChM.PV2285, right third metacarpal; ChM.PV2286, third phalanx, digit 
III; HS.101, right lower molar; HS.E-46, molar fragment; HS.102, 
deciduous molar fragment; HS.102, deciduous molar fragment; 
UGV149, anterior half of probable RM 3 ; UGV135a-b, tooth fragments. 
Remarks.— Osborn (1942) described 10 genera and 59 species of 
elephants. Although Osborn’s criteria for distinguishing species are still 
used, most authors have identified only 2 genera and 5 to 6 species as 
valid. Aguirre (1969) regarded two species, M. imperator and M. columbi, 
as valid in North America, but Miller (1971) regarded even these as in- 
distinct. Because M. columbi has priority, the Edisto Island material is 
assigned to that species. The Columbian mammoth is known from 
numerous localities in the Southeast, including Georgia, South Carolina, 
and Florida (Hay 1923; Webb 1974).
