Twenty-eight localities of fossil elephants (Stegodon and Elephas) have hitherto been known in the Pliocene-Pleistocene formations of the Kinki District, Central Japan. By checking these fossils and their geological occurrences, the writer obtained the following stratigraphical succession of these elephant-bearing horizons: Age in letters
Horizon I Stegodon elephantoides H2 (Pliocene)
Horizon II {Stegodon insignis sugiyamai Stegodon shodoensis shodoensis akashiensis I1 (Pliocene?)
Horizon III {Elephas namadicus naumanni Stegodon orientalis I2 (Low. Pleistoc.) Horizon IV Elephas namadicus naumanni J2 (Pleistoc.)
