1. Stroudsburg, Monroe County.—In 1889 (Ann. Rep. Geol. Surv. Pennsylvania for 1887, p. 6), Dr. Joseph Leidy reported on a collection which many years before had been found in Hartman’s Cave, near Stroudsburg. Nearly all the species still exist, but in the collection was included Castoroides and Rangifer. Among the fossils were jawbones, with teeth, and broken bones of the Virginia deer. It seems possible that the remains had collected there at the close of the Pleistocene; but some may belong to the Recent.

2. Frankstown, Blair County.—In 1908 (Ann. Carnegie Mus., vol. IV, p. 231), Dr. W. J. Holland reported the discovery of remains of a deer, possibly Odocoileus virginianus, in a cave at Frankstown. With this deer were many other species of mammals. A list is presented on page [321].
