Whitesburg, Hamblen County.—In 1920 (Proc. U. S. Nat. Museum, vol. LVIII, pp. 85–95), the writer described bones and teeth of Pleistocene animals which had been found at Whitesburg. A list of the species is given on page [395]. In the collection are 21 teeth which were referred to Odocoileus virginianus, but their small size suggests that they may belong to another species of deer.
Nashville, Davidson County.—On page [201] is presented an account of a collection made at Nashville. Among the fossils was an antler of a deer which is referred by the writer to an undetermined species of Odocoileus (p. [399]).

1. Bigbone Lick, Boone County.—The bones and teeth of the Virginian deer have been reported with some doubt from Bigbone Lick; even if found it is not certain that they belonged to Pleistocene deposits.
2. Bluelick Springs, Nicholas County.—In the collection made in cleaning out Bluelick Springs, in Nicholas County, remains of a deer were secured. The geological age of these can not be determined with certainty, but they were probably of Late Wisconsin time. For a list of the associated species see page [405].
3. Henderson, Henderson County.—In a letter to Dr. Joseph Leidy, published by the latter (Smithson. Contrib. Knowl., vol. VII, art. 5, p. 7), Dr. D. D. Owen stated that many antlers and bones of deer had been found about 6 miles below Henderson, associated with bones of Megalonyx jeffersonii.
