10. _Dora, Wabash County._—Elrod and Benedict, in 1892 (17th Ann. Rep. Indiana Geol. Surv., p. 241), reported two large teeth of a mammoth found on the farm of John H. Peffley, in the east half of the southwest quarter of section 18, township 27, range 8 east. The writers of the report saw one of the teeth and identified it as _Elephas primigenius_; but probably they did not consider the differences between this species and _E. columbi_.
11. _Jasper County._—John Collett (12th Ann. Rep. Indiana Geol. Surv., p. 73) reported that mammoth remains had been found in Jasper County. Nothing was added.
12. _Pleasant Township, Wabash County._—Elrod and Benedict, as noted above, state on their page 240 that some years previously mammoth bones had been discovered while throwing up an embankment for a bridge across Silver Creek. The bones were found under 5 feet of muck. We have no assurance that these bones were not those of a mastodon. It was reported to Elrod and Benedict that some were in Wabash College, at Crawfordsville. On this same creek, near Laketon, were found some mastodon remains, for which see page 98. This township, in the northwestern corner of Wabash County, lies on the great moraine which runs along the north side of Eel River.
13. _St. John’s, Lake County._—Professor W. S. Blatchley, in 1898 (22d Ann. Rep. Geol. Surv. Indiana, p. 90), stated that an almost complete skeleton of a mammoth had been found in a marsh at the headwaters of Deep River, in the north half of section 35, township 35 north, range 9 west. This would be very close to St. John’s and on the Valparaiso moraine.
It is not probable that Professor Blatchley saw this skeleton, and we can not, therefore, be certain that it was not that of a mastodon. If it did belong to one of the elephants it is to be regretted that such rare materials have not been preserved.
14. _Allen County._—Professor C. R. Dryer (16th Ann. Rep. Indiana Geol. Surv., p. 129) recorded the finding of a single mammoth tooth in Allen County. Nothing more is known about this.
1. _Equality, Gallatin County._—In 1875, E. T. Cox (Geol. Surv. Illinois, vol. VI, pp. 213–214), in his report on Gallatin County, Illinois, stated he had picked up numerous plates of elephant teeth at what was called “Half-moon,” located near Equality, in section 19, township 9, range 8 east. It is an excavation made many years ago to obtain salt-brine, near the Saline River, as the region thereabout furnishes salt springs. It is implied in Cox’s account that other remains of elephants had been found there, but usually in a bad condition. It is impossible to determine to which species of elephant the fragments belonged.
