1. Woodstown, Salem County.—In the palæontological collection at Yale University is a fragment of an antler of a deer, most probably of Odocoileus virginianus, discovered in Salem County. It is not accompanied by any information as to the exact locality where found or as to the conditions of burial. The fragment of the shaft is 135 mm. long, and from it springs a tine, the partial length of which is about 45 mm.

2. Vincentown, Burlington County.—In the collection of the Academy of Natural Science at Philadelphia are some fragments of antlers labeled as having been found at Vincentown.

In 1869 (Jour. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., vol. VII, p. 376), Dr. Joseph Leidy stated that remains of the deer had been found in Burlington and Monmouth Counties, but no exact localities were mentioned. Many of the specimens seem to have been found, as accidental occupants, in marl-beds of Cretaceous age. In the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia there are specimens from Pemberton.

3. Deal, Monmouth County.—In the Academy’s collection, at Philadelphia, there is a specimen labeled as having been found at this place. No details are recorded.
