We thank the Ministry of Science and Technology of Kenya for permission to conduct our research in the Turkana Basin. We acknowledge Dr. Idle Omar Farah (Director General of NMK), Dr. E. Mbua, M. Muungu, and the staff of the NMK for their assistance with collections and administrative authorizations. We are thankful to Richard E. Leakey without whom the Lokone project would not have been initiated. This work benefited from many helpful discussions with M. Brunet, J.-J. Jaeger, M. Schuster, R. Tabuce, and S. Cote, and we also thank X. Valentin for technical help. Logistical and field assistance were provided by M. Macharwas, F. Emekui, J. Makemkou, A. Lon-dung, and people of Loperot. We are grateful to Georges Diener (Counsellor for Cooperation and Cultural Affairs), Cyrille Le Deaut (Cooperation Attaché), and Lorys Gratien (French Embassy in Nairobi) for their help and support. Thanks are also due to E. Seiffert and an anonymous reviewer for helpful comments on the manuscript. The drawings of Figures 1 and 2 were prepared by B. Coléno.
