1. Natchez, Adams County.—James Hall, in 1846 (Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. II, p. 168; Jour. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. V, p. 380), announced that remains of this animal had been found in the neighborhood of Natchez. The exact locality is unknown and likewise the conditions under which the specimens were discovered. This species is not included by Leidy in his list of fossil mammals found in Pleistocene deposits in Mississippi up to 1854 (Wailles, Agri. Geol. Mississippi, p. 196).

A list of the species found in the vicinity of Natchez is presented on page [392].
