1. Toronto.—In the Guide Book No. 6, issued by the Ontario Bureau of Mines in 1913, and prepared by Professor A. P. Coleman, it is recorded on page 18 that in the Don beds at Toronto, supposed to belong to the Sangamon stage, had been found bones of a deer resembling those of the Virginia deer. On page [29] deer bones are reported as found in other beds situated in the western part of Toronto. The age of these is uncertain; they may be older than the Don beds or younger than the Scarboro beds. In these same beds have been found also a lower jaw of a bear, possibly Ursus americanus; an atlas of a bison, a part of an antler of Cervalces borealis, and some parts of either a mastodon or a mammoth.

The geology of the Pleistocene in the region about Toronto is treated on pages [281] to [283], figure [3].
