Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remains of Domestic Animals Discovered Among Post-Pleiocene Fossils in South Carolina The interesting collection of remains of vertebrated animals, which form the subject of the following pages, for the most part have been submitted to the inspection of the author, by Prof. Holmes and Capt. A. H. Bowman, U. S. A., who collected them from the eocene, post-pleiocene, and recent geological formations, in the Vicinity of Charleston, south-carolina. The collections of these gentlemen consist of a most remark able intermixture of remains of fishes, reptiles and mammals, of the three periods mentioned; and in many cases perhaps we may err in referring a particular species to a certain formation, more especially in the case of the fishes. The remains usually consist of teeth often well preserved, but frequently in small fragments, more or less water-worn, and most of the fossils are stained brown or bl -ck.
