This is a low, rounded hill, located about a mile a little east of south of Boars Tusk. ... We take pleasure in naming it Matthew Hill after Dr. William Diller Matthew, of the American Museum of Natural History, whose work has thrown much light on the paleontology and development of the so-called lake beds of the Tertiary.
