1. Wirt County.—From Professor John L. Tilton, of the University of West Virginia, the writer has received for examination a fragment of a tooth of Elephas columbi reported to have been found many years ago, somewhere in Wirt County along Little Kanawha River. No details have been preserved. The thick ridge-plates and the heavy crimped enamel betray the species.
NORTH CAROLINA.
1. New Hanover County.—In the State Museum at Raleigh, the writer has seen a part of a molar tooth of this species consisting of 9 ridge-plates. It is said to have been found in the quarry of Ross and Larry. There are 8 ridge-plates in a 100–mm. line and the enamel is rather thick.
Captain E. D. Williams, of Wilmington, has informed the writer that this quarry is situated about 9 miles below Wilmington, near the Fort Fisher road. From a point a little below this Captain Williams secured a tooth of Mammut americanum.

1. Beaufort, Beaufort County.—In 1877, Dr. Leidy (Jour. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., vol. VIII, p. 213) stated that there was in the exhibit of the Smithsonian Institution at the exposition at Philadelphia, in 1876, a last lower molar of this species, found at Beaufort. The present writer has not recognized the tooth in the collection of the U. S. National Museum.
In Rutgers College are six or more teeth or parts of teeth of E. columbi, recorded as coming from Coosaw River. In the collection of Amherst College the writer has seen two lower hindermost molars, labeled as collected in Coosaw River.
