Abstract:
Under Elephas indicus, the Sarawak Museum register (p. 350) records a past holding of two skulls, without tusks of the Asiatic elephant (now Elephas maximus) collected in North Borneo by H.H. the Rajah and H.W Crocker, respectively, together with three isolated molars without provenance, and the disarticulated skeleton and mounted skin of a juvenile male from South China. Notes on the opposite page refer to a fossil molar found in a cave at Bau by a former Curator [R.WC.] Shelford which,on 22 Sep. 1926, could not be located bya later Curator, E. Banks, but was subsequently found (“in Mus.”)on 24 Dec. 1929 (Appendix A). Unfortunately, none of these specimens is any longer present in the Museum.
