Key-Words: Elephants-Quaternary-Portugal. In this paper, a synopsis on the already known data, and the study of further specimens either new (*) or hitherto undescribed are presented. The specimens dealt with have been collected at the Condeixa travertines; in the Tagus terraces near Carregado (*) and at Foz do Enxarrique (*); in the Mousterian, about 31000 BP in filling from the Figueira Brava cave (*); and at AIgar de Joao Ramos (*). Some specimens are ascribed to Elephas antiquus, the best represented form. Material from Figueira Brava cave and AIgarde Joao Ramos is ascribed to Mammuthus primigenius, a species recognized here for the first time in Portugal.
