		The specimen reported here was found at the Mahenge locality, Singida Region, north-central Tanzania, and represents the oldest placental mammal ever found south of the equator on the African continent (Figure 1).
		The Mahenge fossiliferous deposits (Figure 2, Figure 3) are composed of alternating mudstones and variably silicified shales (Harrison et al.

		The fossil flora at Mahenge is dominated by plants in the legume family (Leguminosae).
		This is the family that food plants such as beans, peas, and soybeans come from, as well as common trees such as redbud, fl locust, honey locust, mimosa, mesquite and many others.
		However, the diversity and abundance of legumes at Mahenge is greater than we first thought based on the relatively few plant specimens collected in 1996.

		Due to the treatment and health education provided by the Mahenge Epilepsy Clinic, the daily life and the social existence of the kifafa patients and their families in the Mahenge region has markedly improved over the years, especially as compared to neighbouring regions without such service, as we found out in a recent survey.
		The Mahenge Clinic for Epilepsy is carrying on with its task to educate and treat persons with epilepsy.
		He told me he had heard of the Mahenge Epilepsy Clinic and had inquired about the kifafa treatment there He had been assured there that my type of seizures could most probably be fully controlled by medication, and he was encouraged to take me to the clinic.

		The motorcycle will be used to carry on the daily duties of the Clinic and specifically to aid in distribution of medication to those, in surrounding areas, who are too ill to attend the clinic regularly.
		Mahenge is approximately 300 kilometres South West of Dar es Salaam.

		Another important body still held the Mahenge plateau, previously mentioned, but the town of this name was captured by a Belgian force on October 9th, after severe fighting in the Kalimoto Hills and elsewhere.
		The Mahenge plateau was cleared of the enemy, and captures and surrenders greatly depleted the attenuated forces still holding the field.
		Tafel, unaware of this movement, when driven from Mahenge and on his way to join forces with Vorbeck, was rounded up and capitulated (Nov. 28), there was no longer organized resistance within the limits of the colony.

		A preliminary analysis of leaf area, which is positively correlated with mean annual and wet season precipitation, indicates that rainfall at Mahenge was approximately 700 mm/year, or about 400mm/yr less than what would be required to support tropical forest vegetation today.
		The Mahenge flora provides a first data point for paleoclimate in the Eocene of tropical Africa and the paleovegetation reconstruction fits well within the larger framework established by a limited number of palynological and fossil wood records from North and West Africa.
		Our interpretation ofthe Mahenge paleocommunity is concordant with the hypothesis that forest vegetation was not yet established within the tropical belt of Africa 46 million years ago.

	Fossil legumes from the Middle Eocene (46.0 Ma) Mahenge flora of Singida, Tanzania (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Mahenge flora complements a sparse Palaeogene tropical African fossil plant record, which until now consisted of a single macrobotanical assemblage, limited palynological studies in West Africa and Egypt, and fossil wood studies primarily from poorly dated deposits.
		Mahenge leaf macrofossils have the potential to add significantly to what is known of the evolutionary history of extant African plant groups and to expand the currently limited knowledge of African Palaeogene environments.
		Two additional leaf types are less well understood: one appears to be referable to the Caesalpinioideae and subfamily affinities of the other taxon are unknown.

	EOCENE (46 MA) RAINFALL ESTIMATES FOR TROPICAL EAST AFRICA BASED ON FOSSIL LEAVES FROM MAHENGE, TANZANIA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Paleoprecipitation is estimated using regression equations derived from leaf morphological data and climate parameters for modern low-latitude species assemblages.
		Fossil leaves from the Mahenge paleontological site in north-central Tanzania estimate mean annual precipitation at 536 to 731 mm/yr, near modern, and wet seasonal precipitation at 437 to 451 mm, supporting absence of monsoon circulation and wetter dry seasons than today.
		The plant community, primarily legumes, documents woodland structurally comparable to modern miombo, which is inconsistent with previously hypothesized lowland rainforest at 12°S paleolatitude.

		The fossils were recovered from lacustrine sediments from the Mahenge site (Singida District) in central Tanzania.
		Also present are two types of legume fruits, one of which is moniliform and most specimens show evidence of seed predation, possibly by bruchid beetles.
		Thus the Mahenge site is a valuable addition to our understanding of the fossil history of the Leguminosae by providing much needed insight on legume diversity at low latitudes during the early Tertiary.
