1. Trenton, Mercer County.—In the collection at Princeton University is an upper right last molar of this species recorded as having been found at Trenton. It was discovered in the bluff of Delaware River, just outside the fence of the Riverview cemetery, about 12 feet from the surface. The tooth was given to Dr. Marcus S. Farr by Dr. C. C. Abbott, and to him by Dr. Ward, of Trenton. Dr. Abbott was certain that it was found in the Trenton gravels. Further mention will be made of this on page [304].
2. North Plainfield, Union County.—In Rutgers College is a considerably weathered elephant tooth referred to this species. It was found on Greenbrook road, 2 miles east of North Plainfield. There are about 12 ridge-plates present in the specimen. This locality is on the border of the Wisconsin drift moraine, and the elephant tooth was probably buried in outwash from the moraine.

1. Brookfield, Tioga County.—In the U. S. National Museum (No. 193) is a part of an upper molar of Elephas primigenius sent in 1889 by Mr. Ira Sayles, of Brookfield. It was found along the north fork of Cowanesqua Creek. The hinder 13 plates are present. Mr. Sayles, in a letter to the present writer, stated that originally the tooth had 8 more enamel plates. This would seem to indicate that the tooth is the hindermost molar. Ten of the plates on the side of the tooth are crossed by a line 100 mm. long. The animal probably belonged to the Late Wisconsin stage.
2. Chadd’s Ford, Chester or Delaware County.—In the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, is a fragment of an elephant tooth labeled as found in kaolin deposits owned by W. W. Jeffries and G. B. Dillingham. The specimen was described by Leidy (Proc. Phila. Acad., 1875, p. 121). In this fragment are six ridge-plates, and a line crossing them measures 60 mm. The tooth appears to have belonged to Elephas primigenius. Leidy stated that it had been found lying on the kaolin bed, 8 feet below the surface.
In the same collection is a fragment of a tooth to be referred to E. primigenius, consisting of three plates, apparently presented by I. McClure. It is said to have been found in Chester County, but no more exact locality was named.
3. Harvey’s, Greene County.—From Mr. Andrew J. Waychoff, of Waynesburg, the writer has received for examination a lower jaw of a young individual of Elephas primigenius found near the place named. Professor Edwin Linton sent the information that it was discovered in the bed of Gray’s Fork of Ten mile Creek, about 0.25 mile west of Graysville. In the jaw are the second true molars, right and left, slightly worn. The length of each is 165 mm., the width 62 mm.
