Specimen.—One, as follows: 
British East Arrica: Koya Water, Marsabit Road, 1 skull 
(Rainey). 
The tusks of this elephant, a female, were extraordinarily long. 
They were retained as trophies by Mr. Rainey, but were measured at 
the National Museum, before they were sent to him in June, 1920. 
At that time the heaviest tusk weighed 28 pounds, and the two 
measured 5 feet, 7 inches, and 5 feet, 10 inches, respectively.

Order HYRACOIDEA. 
Family PROCAVIIDA. 
Genus PROCAVIA Storr. 
1780. Procavia Storr, Prodr. Meth. Mamm., tab. B. (P. capensis.) 
1783. Hyrax HERMANN, Tab. Aff. Anim., p. 115. (P. capensis.) 
1868. Euhyrax Gray, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 4, vol. 1, p. 46. January. 
(P. habessinica.) 
Specimens of hyraxes of the restricted genus Procavia are not in 
the collection in sufficient numbers, excepting from Mount Kenia, 
nor from enough localities, to form the basis for any intelligent study 
of the genus in East Africa. The distribution of Procavia is evi- 
dently greatly restricted, as it seems doubtful if the collectors have 
overlooked the animals at many points where they occur. 
For measurements of specimens see page 141.
