1. Gallatin, Sumner County.—In 1835, Professor G. Troost (Trans. Geol. Soc. Penn., vol. I, 1835, p. 144) reported that a Mrs. Ephraim Foster possessed a tooth of Elephas primigenius found in a well at a depth of 40 feet. The identification followed the opinion of that time that only one species of elephant had existed in the country. It more probably belonged to E. columbi.
2. Columbia, Maury County.—In the publication just referred to the geologist G. Troost stated that he owned a tooth of Elephas primigenius, found a few miles below Columbia, probably near Duck River, but no details as to the exact locality and kinds of deposits were furnished. Hayes and Ulrich (Folio 95, U. S. Geol. Surv.) appear not to have recognized any Pleistocene in this quadrangle. On page [6] they stated that narrow strips of bottom lands occur along the larger streams, particularly along Duck River. The tooth was probably that of E. columbi.
