Abstract

Views of Japanese Proboscidean Fossils (1991) and of subsequent studies after publication are described in four sections. (1) As the publication was based on the studies by Proboscidean Research Group, a short history of the group is introduced first; (2) Among the studies after publication, some topics of the studies on Naumann's elephant, Palaeoloxodon naumanni (Makiyama) 1924, are discussed, i.e. taxonomical position, intraspecific variation, chronology and distribution, and relation to mammoth; (3) Also on stegodonts, some problems on systematic position, biostratigraphy, biogeography and footprints are disputed; (4) Some considerations on museum activity concerning elephant study are taken up, e.g. display, custody, information, restoration, research history. In addition, redescription of "Trilophodon" sendaicus Matsumoto 1924 is given in the last as an additional note.
