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. (Map 2.) GRINNELL LAND. _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. NOVA SCOTIA. 1. _Sable Island._—In the collection of the Philadelphia Academy there is a walrus skull which was sent to the Academy from Sable Island about 1871. According to Rhoads (Proc. Phila. Acad., 1898, p. 197), Leidy regarded this skull as that of a recent individual; but Rhoads states that “the specimen is of precisely the same nature in color, texture, and specific gravity as the larger fossil specimen which Leidy described and figured in the Philosophical Transactions and which came from the beach at Long Branch, New Jersey.” He thinks that it had been derived from an ancient raised sea-beach. This does not appear to be at all improbable. NEW BRUNSWICK. 2. _Fairville, Charlotte County._—In 1879 (Geol. Surv. Canada, Rep. for 1877–8, EE, p. 23), Dr. G. F. Matthew reported the discovery of a skeleton of _Phoca grœnlandica_ near Fairville, at the mouth of St. John River, New Brunswick. The fore limbs and several vertebræ were missing. The skeleton was afterwards destroyed in a fire at St. John. The bones were found at a depth of about 25 feet, in the lower Leda clay. QUEBEC.
