1. Trenton, Mercer County.—In the collection at Princeton University is an upper right last molar of this species recorded as having been found at Trenton. It was discovered in the bluff of Delaware River, just outside the fence of the Riverview cemetery, about 12 feet from the surface. The tooth was given to Dr. Marcus S. Farr by Dr. C. C. Abbott, and to him by Dr. Ward, of Trenton. Dr. Abbott was certain that it was found in the Trenton gravels. Further mention will be made of this on page [304].

2. North Plainfield, Union County.—In Rutgers College is a considerably weathered elephant tooth referred to this species. It was found on Greenbrook road, 2 miles east of North Plainfield. There are about 12 ridge-plates present in the specimen. This locality is on the border of the Wisconsin drift moraine, and the elephant tooth was probably buried in outwash from the moraine.
