16. Daytona, Volusia County.—In 1916 (Florida Geol. Surv., vol. VIII, p. 105), Doctor Sellards stated that he had obtained from marl-pits worked at this place for road materials a proboscidean tusk and a rib of a whale, probably of the genus Balænoptera. At the same place had been found a tooth of Elephas columbi.

17. De Land, Volusia County.—At this place was obtained the dolphin skull which Sellards described as Globicephalus bæreckeii (Florida Geol. Surv., vol. VIII, p. 107, plate XIV). It was found embedded in sand at a depth of 10 feet. This sand overlies marls which are regarded as Pliocene or Miocene. Sellards believed that the sands belonged to the Pleistocene. It is not improbable that the marls pertain to the Pleistocene of the first glacial time.
