In the December 1970 Oryx we published an article by Dr Laws on his elephant research in the Tsavo National Park. This was written in 1968, and in this additional note he summarises the findings of later research, both by him and by other research workers, which support its conclusions, and also comments on the article by Dr P. E. Glover, Botanist Warden of the Tsavo Research Project, published in the September 1970 Oryx.
