SECOND ANNUAL RErORT—STRATIGRAPHIC GEOLOGY.

Alligator mississipiensis, and a variety of fish remains, including teeth of 
Carcharodon, Galeocerdo, Myliobates, etc. 
From the Pliocene beds of the Caloosahatchee were obtained: 
Bison lot if rous. Bquus frat emus. 
Elephas colmnbi. 
After the death of Dr. Leidy, the completion of the descriptions 
of the Florida vertebrates was assigned to Mr. Lucas, who made the 
following changes in nomenclature A 
The changes in nomenclature, for which the present writer assumes all 
responsibility, and the conclusions in regard to species may be briefly summed 
up as follows: 
Rhinoceros proterus Leidy is Aphelops fossiger (Cope) and Rhinoceros 
longipes Leidy is Aphelops malacorhinus (Cope). 
Procamelus major (Leidy) appears to be a valid species, while the specific 
identity of Procamelus medius and P. minor is not yet proven. The same may 
perhaps be said of Mastodon florid anus, but until other specimens of Mastodon 
serridens can be secured, Mastodon floridamis should undoubtedly be considered 
as distinct. Hippotherium prince ps, in the opinion of the writer, rests on an 
abnormal tooth of Equus major. 
It is interesting to note that the faunal similarity between the 
Alachua clay and the “Loup Fork beds'’ of the West is strengthened 
by the changes in nomenclature suggested by Mr. Lucas.
