Notes 1 Elephant No. 2. I call this an Elephant - because I do not know what else to call it. It is un- doubtedly nearly related to the elephant as it had a large tusk about 5 inches through, and as I remember it about 8½ ft. long, blunt at the end as though it had been worn off. Among the specimens are fragments from end of tusk, also the largest ones I could get from other parts. It broke into hundreds of pieces and seemed to be composed of concentric layers. The teeth were also broken into small pieces except some larger fragments and one small tooth. The skull also broke into many pieces and the vertebrae would fall in pieces as soon as the sandy matrix was removed. Just above the sand from which I dug this elephant - was clay. Below was clay also.

I call this elephant - No. 2 as I found fragments of skull and jaw of what- appears to be the same species four miles to this and have labelled it elephant - No. 1. These specimens were found in the Bighorn Lake Beds about 12 miles south of Tugan, perhaps 15-0 ft above the whole near by formation which is seen a good show of the way along the bluffs on the east side of the Madison River near Tugan and for about - 18 or 20 miles. There are still a good many frag- ments of bones of this animal left on the ground but I saved what seemed to be the best. I found also a few bones of one or more other animals while digging out this one (No. 2) The bones of this individual and of them are packed in a large box about 15' X 22 X 42 inches but portions of teeth and several whole photographs we have are in a pasteboard box packed in another under

Notes. Ele. No 2. wooden box. To the small box can be sent first and it can then be de- termined whether it is best to send the large box. Turtles. There are parts of 15 or 20 different turtles. I do not know whether they are the same species or not: If they are I think in the lot I have all, nearly, represented. The shells are all in a fragmentary condition, some pieces perhaps as large as one hand or longer. The turtles are the most numerous. The shelly turtle No. 10. (the most complete one) I left near the bluffs and did not have time to get it home but can get it if necessary.
