Family Cervidae 
Odocoileus virginianus (Boddaert) — white tailed deer 
Material. — ChM . PV 2403-2404, antler bases; ChM.PV2405, antler 
fragment; ChM.PV2456, antler fragment, ChM.PV2749, RM 2 fragment; 
ChM.PV2750, fragment of right humerus; ChM.PV2406, left radius, 
HS.A-56, antler tine; HS.E-29, anterior extremity of left mandible; 
HS.A-58, metacarpal fragment; UGV153, section of right tibia. 
Remarks. — All material is identical to modern Odocoileus virginianus, 
but the specimens are dark and well mineralized. Although O. virginianus 
is a common species in the middle to late Pleistocene, the possibility that 
this material is of Recent origin must be considered since the species is 
presently a common inhabitant of Edisto Island. 
Family Bovidae 
Bison cf. B. antiquus (Leidy) — Pleistocene bison 
Material . — ChM.PV2393, horn core, preserved from basal constric- 
tion to core tip; ChM.PV2394, horn core fragment; HS.E-77, horn core 
fragment; ChM.PV2392, horn core fragment; ChM.PV2389, thoracic 
vertebra. 
Remarks.— Edisto bison material is generally robust and strongly per- 
mineralized. Measurements from horn cores (Table 4) compare favorably 
with Bison antiquus (Skinner and Kaisen 1947; Robertson 1974). The 
remaining Bison material lacks diagnostic features and cannot with cer- 
tainty be referred to species.

radius in two fragments; ChM.PV2380, distal fragment of left radius, 
ChM.PV2401, partial right innominate; ChM.PV2381, distal fragment of
