Abstract
Despite the fact that hundreds of fossil proboscidean remains are known from Lower Miocene to Upper Pleistocene sediments in Hungary, only five specimens (four molars and a tusk fragment) from three different localities (Győrszabadhegy, Bükkábrány and the Castle Hill of Buda) can be referred securely as Elephas antiquus. The scant record and the lack of highresolution stratigraphic information do not allow extensive conclusions. However it seems that forest elephants inhabited the territory in at least two periods (namely 800-700 ka and 500-400 ka).
