–Reports a rib and a radius-ulna of Trichechus manatus, of uncertain age, from southwestern Ohio and from the Mississippi River on the Arkansas-Mississippi border, respectively. Discusses records of other fossil or subfossil marine mammals from the Great Lakes region, and concludes that the manatees travelled upriver from the Gulf of Mexico, probably when the climate was warmer than today's.
