1. Pike County.—In 1875 (Cincinnati Quart. Jour. Sci., vol. II, p. 154), J. H. Klippart wrote that the upper jaw of a mastodon, with a considerable part of the cranium, had been found somewhere in this county and had been on exhibition in the State Agricultural rooms. It was owned by a Mr. Faust, of Galion or Crestline. Nothing more appears to be known about this specimen.

2. Nashport, Muskingum County.—In 1837 (Amer. Jour. Sci., vol. XXXI, p. 79), S. P. Hildreth, in an unsigned article, stated that mastodon remains had been found 2 miles north of this place, during the excavation of a canal. He recognized large portions of tusks and some molar teeth. At the same place were found the skull which became the type of Castoroides ohioensis, as well as a skull which Hildreth described and named Ovis mamillaris, but which probably belonged to a domestic sheep.

47. Lisbon, Columbiana County.—In the Ohio University Department of Archæology and History there are some remains of a peccary which, as reported by Professor W. C. Mills, was found associated with remains of a mastodon. The locality is said to be in the northwest quarter of the northeast quarter of section 24, township 18 north, range 3 west. This would be in the south edge of the town of Lisbon and probably on the south side of the Middle Fork of Little Beaver River. It would be just outside of the moraine of the Wisconsin drift-sheet.
