13. _Below New Bern._—In 1842 (Amer. Jour. Sci., vol. XLIII, p. 143), Richard Harlan reported regarding the species of fossil vertebrates found 16 miles below New Bern. His list, which was long and consisted mainly of vernacular names, included “cetaceans.”
14. _Charleston._—In 1860 (Holmes’s Post-Pliocene Foss. South Carolina, p. 117, plate XXIV, fig. 9), Leidy described a cetacean tooth which he called _Physeter antiquus_. Later the specific name was changed to _vetus_. At the same time he figured a tooth (fig. 8) found in the Ashley River deposits. He further stated that teeth apparently of the same species had been taken from the Miocene formations of Virginia, but found no characters by which they could be distinguished from those of the recent sperm whale.
15. _Brunswick._—In 1911 (Bull. No. 26, Geol. Surv. Georgia, p. 436), Gidley reported from here, among other vertebrates, some teeth which he regarded as those of _Physeter vetus_; but this may not be correct and they may not belong to the Pleistocene.
16. _Daytona, Volusia County._—In 1916 (Florida Geol. Surv., vol. VIII, p. 105), Doctor Sellards stated that he had obtained from marl-pits worked at this place for road materials a proboscidean tusk and a rib of a whale, probably of the genus _Balænoptera_. At the same place had been found a tooth of _Elephas columbi_.
17. _De Land, Volusia County._—At this place was obtained the dolphin skull which Sellards described as _Globicephalus bæreckeii_ (Florida Geol. Surv., vol. VIII, p. 107, plate XIV). It was found embedded in sand at a depth of 10 feet. This sand overlies marls which are regarded as Pliocene or Miocene. Sellards believed that the sands belonged to the Pleistocene. It is not improbable that the marls pertain to the Pleistocene of the first glacial time.
FINDS OF PLEISTOCENE PINNIPEDIA IN EASTERN NORTH AMERICA.
_Dumbbell Harbor._—In 1877 (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 4, vol. XX, p. 488), Fielden published a paper on the Post-Tertiary beds of Grinnell Land and north Greenland. Fielden and De Rance reported on the same subject in 1878 (Quart. Jour. Geol. Soc. Lond., vol. XXXIV, p. 566). In beds having an elevation of 400 feet, in latitude 82° 30′, there were obtained meager remains of _Phoca hispida_ and _Ovibos moschatus_. In latitude 82° 25′ were secured remains of _Rangifer tarandus_, _Ovibos moschatus_, and _Phoca barbata_. The invertebrate fauna was found to be identical with that existing there to-day. If the beds are of Pleistocene age, as the elevation appears to indicate, they may be referred to the Late Wisconsin.
