15. Butler County.—In the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia is an elephant tooth which is accredited to W. S. Vaux and labeled as having been found in Butler County. The tooth has now a length of 230 mm., but is worn down to the base in front and the large anterior root is missing. The width is 105 mm. It appears to be a large hindermost upper molar of E. primigenius. Nothing more definite is known about the locality. The whole country is covered with Wisconsin drift.
6. Dayton, Montgomery County.—In the collection of the Society of Archæology and History at the University of Ohio is a tooth of Elephas primigenius which, as reported by Professor W. C. Mills, was found near the middle of the eastern boundary of Montgomery County. This would not be far from Dayton. The locality is within the area covered by Wisconsin drift and the animal lived probably not far away from the foot of the retiring glacier.
7. Selma, Clark County.—In Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana, are two upper last molars, right and left, said to have been collected at Selma. There are nine ridge-plates in a line 100 mm. long. Nothing is known regarding the geological conditions connected with the discovery, except that the locality is within the Wisconsin area.
8. Versailles, Darke County.—In the U. S. National Museum is an upper hindermost molar of Elephas primigenius (No. 4761), recorded as found in Wayne Township, on the farm of Foster Compton, in the northeast corner of the township. This would be probably about 4 miles north of east of Versailles. The country is level and was doubtless originally swampy. This tooth is apparently the one mentioned by A. C. Lindemuth in 1878 (Geol. Surv. Ohio, vol. III, pt. 1, p. 509). He stated that it had been picked up in the creek bottom just north of Versailles.
Under this number may be recorded a tooth of E. primigenius found many years ago by George H. Teaford, about 2 miles southeast of Palestine, in Darke County, and now in the collection in the public library at Greenville. It is a lower left hindermost molar. There are 20 plates present and evidently a few are missing from the front.
9. Jersey, Licking County.—In the collection of the Ohio State University, Columbus, are two large teeth of Elephas primigenius labeled as sent from this place and credited to D. D. Condit. The length along the base of one of the teeth is 286 mm. There are nine plates in a 100–mm. line and the enamel is unusually thin. This locality is on the western border of the Wisconsin terminal moraine and the animal belongs therefore to the Late Wisconsin stage.
10. Chicago, Huron County.—In the collection of the Society of Archæology and History, at the University of Ohio, the writer has seen a tooth of Elephas primigenius, labeled as having been found at this place, which is located on or close to the Defiance moraine.
11. Kamms, Cuyahoga County.—About May 1, 1911, Mr. F. W. Glenn, of Kamms, sent to the U. S. National Museum a photograph of a tooth which the present writer identified as belonging to Elephas primigenius. This town is about 4 miles from the shore of Lake Erie.
12. Cleveland, Cuyahoga County.—In the collection of Adelbert College, Cleveland, is a lower jaw of Elephas primigenius which was obtained here. Professor H. P. Cushing has furnished the writer photographs of this jaw, which belonged to a young animal, inasmuch as the hindermost milk molar had not wholly appeared above the bone. Of this tooth, six ridge-plates were crossed by a line 50 mm. in length.
This jaw was found in 1909, in making a sewer, in hitherto undisturbed materials, 22 feet from the surface. In the section at that point is found 22 feet of sand resting on till, the latter being the upper part of the glacial filling of the preglacial Cuyahoga Valley, 300 feet down to the rock. The jaw was at the base of the sands. Professor Cushing regarded the jaw as older than old Lake Warren and presumably as belonging to the time of Lake Whittlesey.
