50 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT. 
Leidy mentions especially the simplicity of structure of the 
molars in his possession. 
In No. 3 this species appears to be represented by the distal end 
of a tibia, No. 6737. This bone is much smaller than the corre¬ 
sponding bone of the existing peccary. The side-to-side diameter 
is only 14 mm. In the same stratum there has been found a peccary 
canine which appears to be entirely too large to have belonged to 
T. lenis, in case the small canine has been properly referred. 
ODOCOILEUS SELLARDSIAE, NEW SPECIES. 
Plate 3- Fig. 4. 
Type specimen. —A fifth cervical vertebra, not water-worn, but 
lacking, through fractures, the right diapophysis and the borders of 
some of the other processes. No. 7923 of the Florida Geological 
Survey. 
Type locality. —Vero, Florida. 
Type formation. —Stratum No. 3 of the Pleistocene deposits at 
Yero. 
Diagnosis. —Diapophysis entirely separated from the para- 
pophysis of its side; its base short, on a level with, and wholly in 
front of, the hinder opening of the vertebraterial canal. 
This species is named in honor of Mrs. Anna Mary Sellards, 
wife of the present State Geologist of Florida. 
In the collection of the Florida Geological. Survey is a fifth 
cervical vertebra (No. 7923), which was found in stratum No. 3, 
the “muck bed,” at Vero. The exact locality (Station 19) was on 
the south side of the canal and extended from 460 to 470 feet west 
of the railroad bridge. This is where the second lot of human 
bones was found. On comparing this bone with the corresponding 
one of Odocoileus virginianus, O. hemionus (pi. 3, fig. 5) and 
O. osceola, it is seen to differ from all of them. In all of the species 
just named the diapophysis is more or less closely connected with 
the parapophysis, has a long base, and is situated below the verte- 
.brarterial canal. In 0 . sellardsiae the diapophysis is separated 
from the parapophysis, has a short base, is on a level with the canal 
mentioned, and is in front of it. In short, it has the same position 
that this process has in the sixth vertebra. Otherwise the vertebra 
resembles the fifth in the other species. The length of the body of the 
-vertebra, measured from the centers of the front and rear articula-
