61. _Westfield, Chautauqua County._—Dr. J. M. Clarke, in 1903 (Bull. 69, etc., p. 933), reported the discovery of a part of a skeleton at Westfield. It was on the property of Mrs. Alice Peacock, alongside the Nickel Plate Railroad. A tusk, 6 feet 2 inches long and highly curved, 17 ribs, 8 pelvic and lumbar vertebræ, a patella, and parts of the scapula and pelvis were secured. The bones lay on a pavement of heavy boulders and under several feet of black clayey muck. This animal could have lived here only after the Wisconsin ice-sheet had withdrawn within, or nearly within, the basin of Lake Erie.
1. _Mannington Township, Salem County._—In Rutgers College, New Brunswick, New Jersey, is a mounted mastodon said to have been found on the Hackett farm, Chestnut Hill, in Mannington. This township is northwest of the town of Salem. It is stated that about 75 per cent of the bones are present in the mounted skeleton; the missing parts are restored in plaster or some other material. Rhoads (Mamm, Penn. N. J., 1903, p. 235) was informed by Professor Valiant that this skeleton was excavated from a bed of gray marl, at a depth of from 6 to 8 feet below the surface. According to Lewis and Kümmel’s geological map of New Jersey, 1912, this region appears to be overlain by the Cape May formation (see also Salisbury and Knapp, vol. VIII, Final Rep. Geol. Surv. New Jersey, p. 194).
2. _Harrisonville, Gloucester County._—In 1869, Cope (Cook’s Geol. New Jersey, p. 740) stated that a mastodon had been found at this place, but no details were furnished. Harrisonville is on Oldman’s Creek, and along this are distributed, according to the map above cited, materials belonging to the Pensauken formation. Bridgeton, Pensauken, and Cape May deposits are, however, not far away (Salisbury and Knapp, op. cit., pp. 31, 96, 97, 194, 198).
3. _Mullica Hill, Gloucester County._—In Cook’s “Geology of New Jersey,” Cope reported also that mastodon remains had been found at Mullica Hill, on Raccoon Creek, but here again no details were given. Following the map cited, and Salisbury and Knapp, page 194, we find Cape May deposits at the town, but Pensauken is not far away, and it is not known exactly where the mastodon remains were met with.
