1. Chambersburg, Franklin County.—In 1806 (Phila. Med. and Phys. Jour., vol. II, pt. 1, p. 157), Dr. B. S. Barton reported remains of a mammoth found at Chambersburg.
2. Pittsburgh, Allegheny County.—In 1875 (Proc. Acad. Natural Sci., Phila., p. 121), Leidy exhibited drawings of an elephant tooth, dredged up at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh. The tooth was nearly entire and weighed slightly less than 16 pounds. Leidy referred the tooth to Elephas americanus, but whether it was E. primigenius or E. columbi can not be determined.
3. Meadville, Crawford County.—In the Geologist, of London, volume V, 1862, on page 431, it was stated that Mr. A. B. Ruhmond, of Meadville, had reported to the Scientific American the discovery of mammoth remains in the excavation of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad at French Creek. No further information was furnished. In this case the remains might have been those of a mastodon.
4. Girard, Erie County.—In the Erie Public Museum are three tusks, said to have been found near Girard; one is about 4 feet long; another somewhat longer. They are slender and probably belonged to Elephas primigenius, but there is no certainty about this.
