1. Brunswick, Glynn County.—In a list of fossil vertebrates dredged, probably, from the harbor at Brunswick, Gidley (Bull. No. 26, Geol. Surv. Georgia, p. 436) announced the finding of some part, supposedly a tooth, of a cervuline, “probably belonging to the genus Cervus.” That C. canadensis might have lived in that region during some part of the Pleistocene is not at all improbable; that it lived there during the time that Megatherium existed we have not at present sufficient evidence.

1. Alafia River, Hillsboro County.—From the late Professor F. W. Putnam the writer learned that he had obtained from Alafia River some part of the elk. The present writer has not seen the specimen.

Whitesburg, Hamblen County.—In a collection of fossil vertebrates secured at Whitesburg and described by the writer in 1920 are some fragments of teeth which were referred to Cervus canadensis (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. LVIII, p. 92). A list of the species is presented on page [395].

1. Bigbone Lick, Boone County.—In his report of 1831 on Bigbone Lick, William Cooper (Monthly Amer. Jour. Geol., vol. I, p. 207) stated that he had found remains of Cervus canadensis; but he did not appear to be wholly certain of this. Shaler was likewise in doubt regarding the presence of the elk (Geol. Surv. Kentucky, vol. III, n. s., p. 197). Other authors have mentioned the elk as occurring here, but not in a convincing way. Nevertheless, it is not at all improbable that this species was represented here. The geology of this locality is considered on pages [401] to [404] and a list of the species is presented.
