4. _Bringhurst, Carroll County._—In the State Museum at Indianapolis is a last molar found some years ago near Bringhurst and presented by Mr. John Flora. There are 27 plates present, an unusual number. The length of the tooth is 320 mm. from the summit of the first to the base of the twenty-sixth. No information was furnished as to the exact place where the tooth was found, nor as to the depth and kind of materials. Bringhurst is situated on Wisconsin drift, and the animal must have lived at some time after the ice retired from the Fowler-Lafayette moraine.
1. _Staley, Champaign County._—In the collection at the University of Illinois the writer has seen a lower last molar recorded as having been found by John Early at a point 5.5 miles west and 1.5 miles south of Champaign, apparently not far from Staley. It is said to have been picked up by a dredge; hence probably in some ditching operations. The writer regarded the tooth as belonging to _Elephas columbi_.
Apparently this tooth was found very near the outer border of the Champaign moraine; hence the animal might have lived at any time after the deposition of this moraine. It is more probable, however, that this species did not affect such a cold environment, and haunted those regions when the climate had greatly ameliorated.
2. _Stronghurst, Henderson County._—In the summer of 1914, Mr. John Shick discovered near Stronghurst, in a well, at a depth of 20 feet, four elephant teeth. A letter, with photographs of these teeth, sent to the U. S. Geological Survey, was shown the writer, who identified the teeth as belonging to _Elephas columbi_, apparently the second and third upper deciduous molars, right and left. They were reported to have been found in a dark soil. All the region about Stronghurst is occupied by Illinoian drift. Since at a depth of 20 feet an old soil was reached it becomes quite certain that this represents a pre-Illinoian interglacial deposit, probably the Yarmouth stage; and to that must be assigned the time of the elephant in question.
3. _Chillicothe, Peoria County._—In the palæontological collection of the University of Iowa is a tooth of _Elephas columbi_, recorded as collected at Chillicothe by Fred Wachs. It was found in gravel, at a depth of 40 feet, but the exact locality is not known. The tooth is the first lower true molar.
