Abstract. Results of detailed descriptions and measurements of nine bones from the postcranial skeleton of proboscideans collected from the Leu palaeontological deposit in Romania are presented. Where possible, comparison with similar samples described in other fossil sites was done. It could be ascertained that between the tarsals of Mammuthus meridionalis from Leu and those of M. m. from Nogaisk differences concern both the dimensions (in favour of the Nogaisk fossils) and bones morphology. This work represents a contribution to the study of the postcranial skeleton of proboscideans on the Romanian territory, which shows a deficit at the present moment.
