Abstract

Elephas maxitnus Linnaeus, 1758. Syst. Nat., 10th ed., 1:33. TYPE LOCALITY: Sri Lanka (=Ceylon) (domesticated stock). DISTRIBUTION: Sri Lanka; India to Indochina; Malaysia; Sumatra; N. Borneo. COMMENT: For discussion of subspecific variation see Deraniyagala, 1955, Ceylon Nat. Mus. Publ., Colombo, and Chasen, 1940. Bornean elephants are believed to be feral descendants of a stock introduced in the 1750's; see de Silva, 1968, Sabah Soc. J., 3(4):169— 181, and Olivier, 1978, Unpubl. Ph.D. Dissertation, Cambridge. According to Chasen, 1940, these elephants resemble the continental form rather than the one from Sumatra. See also Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1966:336; Corbet, 1978:191- 192. PROTECTED STATUS: CITES - Appendix I and U.S. ESA - Endangered. ISIS NUMBER: 5301415001001001001.
